“…A second feature of the present study was the inclusion of both auditory and visual timing signals within the same experimental session to better examine the effects of attention on duration classification. The observation that sounds are judged longer than visual stimuli of the same objective duration is a robust finding in the timing literature (e.g., Behar & Bevan, 1961;Goldstone et al, 1959;Goldstone & Lhamon, 1972, 1974Lustig & Meck, 2001;Penney et al, 1998Penney et al, , 2000Wearden et al, 1998) that has been interpreted to reflect greater attentional allocation to the auditory versus visual signal (Penney et al, 1998(Penney et al, , 2000. Thus, the inclusion of a dual modality bisection task permitted further investigation of the role of attention on temporal processing in schizophrenia, as impaired attention should produce a greater auditory/visual timing difference compared to that observed for nonpsychiatric participants.…”

“…In a previous study of mixed-modality temporal bisection, the offspring of individuals with schizophrenia exhibited an increased difference in their temporal judgments between auditory and visual signals compared with both controls and individuals identified as high-risk for the development of affective disorders . Based on these findings and reports of auditory/ visual differences observed using a variety of patient populations (Ehrensing et al, 1970;Goldstone & Kirkham, 1968;Goldstone & Lhamon, 1972;Lustig & Meck, 2001) and temporal discrimination tasks (Goldstone, 1968;Goldstone & Goldfarb, 1964;Goldstone et al, 1959), it was predicted that individuals with schizophrenia would judge the auditory stimuli as longer than visual stimuli of the same objective duration, and that this auditory/visual difference would be greater than that observed for the non-psychiatric participants. Because this is the first study to date to apply the SKE-MM model to bisection data from individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, the model was applied as part of an exploratory analysis.…”

Schizophrenia may be associated with a fundamental disturbance in the temporal coordination of information processing in the brain, leading to classic symptoms of schizophrenia such as thought disorder and disorganized and contextually inappropriate behavior. Despite the growing interest and centrality of time-dependent conceptualizations of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, there remains a paucity of research directly examining overt timing performance in the disorder. Accordingly, the present study investigated timing in schizophrenia using a well-established task of time perception. Twenty-three individuals with schizophrenia and 22 non-psychiatric control participants completed a temporal bisection task, which required participants to make temporal judgments about auditory and visually presented durations ranging from 300 to 600 ms. Both schizophrenia and control groups displayed greater visual compared to auditory timing variability, with no difference between groups in the visual modality. However, individuals with schizophrenia exhibited less temporal precision than controls in the perception of auditory durations. These findings correlated with parameter estimates obtained from a quantitative model of time estimation, and provide evidence of a fundamental deficit in temporal auditory precision in schizophrenia.

“…Several studies in the literature have reported that auditory and audiovisual events are judged to be significantly longer than visual ones when duration estimates are observed in prospective situations (Goldstone & Goldfarb, 1964;Goldstone & Lhamon, 1972, 1974Walker & Scott, 1981;Wearden et al, 1998). Although it is unclear whether the overestimation bias for auditory events is relative to the events' actual durations or merely relative to the durations of visual events, it did not emerge here for either prospective or retrospective judgments.…”

“…The past literature has frequently reported that whereas visual (V) events are judged to be shorter than auditory (A) ones, auditory and audiovisual (AV) events produce comparable levels of performance (i.e., V Ͻ A ϭ AV; see, e.g., Goldstone & Lhamon, 1972, 1974Walker & Scott, 1981). To date, it is not clear why this bias occurs and whether it represents over-and underestimations, respectively, relative to events' actual durations, or simply two different magnitudes of over-or underestimation.…”

“…When biases emerge, auditory sequences are judged to be longer than visual ones (Goldstone & Goldfarb, 1964;Goldstone & Lhamon, 1972, 1974Penney, Allan, Meck, & Gibbon, 1998;Walker & Scott, 1981;Wearden, Edwards, Fakhri, & Percival, 1998). This phenomenon appears to be a very reliable one that has been attributed to uncontrolled differences in stimulus characteristics, such as intensity and movement (Goldstone & Lhamon, 1974), or to differential rates of an internal clock (Penney et al, 1998;Wearden et al, 1998).…”

Time perception and autistic spectrum condition: A systematic review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Problems with timing and time perception have been suggested as key characteristics of autism spectrum condition (ASC). Studies and personal accounts from clinicians, parents, caregivers, and self‐reports from autistic people themselves often refer to problems with time. Although a number of empirical studies have examined aspects relating to time in autistic individuals, there remains no clear consensus on whether or how timing mechanisms may be affected in autism. A key reason for this lack of clarity is the wide range of timing processes that exist and subsequently the wide range of methodologies, research paradigms, and samples that time‐based studies have used with autism populations. In order to summarize and organize the available literature on this issue, a systematic review was conducted. Five electronic databases were consulted. From an initial 597 records (after duplicates were removed), 45 papers were selected and reviewed. The studies are reviewed within different sections based on the different types of timing ability that have been explored in the neurotypical (NT) population: time sensitivity, interval timing, and higher‐order time perception. Within each section cognitive models, methodologies, possible clinical implications, and research results are discussed. The results show different consistency across studies between the three types of timing ability. The highest consistency of results showing atypical time perception abilities is found in high‐level time perception studies. It remains unclear if autism is characterized by a fundamental time perception impairment. Suggestions for future research are discussed.

Overall, there are a number of studies that show differences between autistic and non‐autistic individuals, but some studies do not find such differences. Group differences are more consistent across studies using complex tasks rather than simpler more fundamental timing tasks. We suggest that experiments across a range of timing tasks would be fruitful to address gaps in our knowledge.
