“…This notion is also supported by Wetzel et al (2012) who report the facilitation effect to be larger for (ecologically more significant) novel stimuli than artificial deviants. Chen et al (2010) have argued that novel or deviant events might draw more attention than frequent standard events, which results in subjects being more confident about their decision and answering more quickly. This explanation is plausible with the decreased RTs, because these results are obtained in the “Attend” condition.…”

Visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) is a negative-going component amongst cognitive event-related potentials. It reflects an automatic change-detection process that occurs when an infrequent stimulus is presented that is incongruent with the representation of a frequent (standard) event. In our research we use visual motion (more specifically motion direction changes) to study vMMN. Since movement in the visual field is quite irresistible to our brain, the question in hand is, if the detection of motion direction changes is dependent on attention directed to the stimulus. We present a new continuous whole-display stimulus configuration, where the attention capturing primary task of motion onset detection is in the central part of the visual display and visual oddball sequence on the background. The visual oddball paradigm consisted of 85% standard and 15% deviant events, motion direction change being the deviant. We show that even though the unattended visual oddball sequence does not affect the performance in the demanding behavioral primary task, the differences appearing in that sequence are noticed by our brain and reflected in two distinguishable vMMN components in occipital and parietal scalp locations. When attention is directed toward the visual oddball sequence, we only see different processing of standards and deviants in later time-windows and task-related activity in frontal scalp location. Our results are obtained under strict attention manipulation conditions.

“…One possible explanation for this negative correlation, however, would be the difference in attention during the processing of the standard duration. Those subjects who pay less attention to the current standard would utilize the arguably more automatic and less variable process of sampling from a previously established memory distribution rather than engaging the more variable process of controlled attention to time the duration of the current standard on a trial-by-trial basis [30,35]. Moreover, it has not been determined whether the degree of "memorymixing" for unimodal signal durations would correlate with the magnitude of any observed modality difference across individuals.…”

Abstract. Distortions in temporal memory can occur as a function of differences in signal modalities and/or by the encoding of multiple signal durations associated with different timing tasks into a single memory distribution -an effect referred to as "memory mixing". Evidence for this type of memory distortion and/or categorization of signal durations as an explanation for changes in temporal context (e.g., duration ranges), as well as for Vierordt's law (e.g., overestimation of "short" durations and underestimation of "long" durations), can be studied by examining proactive interference effects from the previous trial(s). Moreover, we demonstrate that individual differences in the magnitude of this "memory-mixing" phenomenon are correlated with variation in reaction times for ordinal temporal comparisons as well as with sensitivity to feedback effects in the formation of duration-specific memory distributions.

“…For example, an electrophysiological study (Chen, Huang, Luo, Peng, & Liu, 2010) revealed differences between auditory and visual duration-dependent mismatch negativity under attended and unattended conditions. Based on this observation, these authors concluded that auditory temporal information is processed automatically, whereas processing of visual temporal information draws on additional attentional resources.…”

The present study investigated modality-specific differences in processing of temporal information in the subsecond range. For this purpose, participants performed auditory and visual versions of a rhythm perception and three different duration discrimination tasks to allow for a direct, systematic comparison across both sensory modalities. Our findings clearly indicate higher temporal sensitivity in the auditory than in the visual domain irrespective of type of timing task. To further evaluate whether there is evidence for a common modality-independent timing mechanism or for multiple modality-specific mechanisms, we used structural equation modeling to test three different theoretical models. Neither a single modality-independent timing mechanism, nor two independent modality-specific timing mechanisms fitted the empirical data. Rather, the data are well described by a hierarchical model with modality-specific visual and auditory temporal processing at a first level and a modality-independent processing system at a second level of the hierarchy.
