“…Wilkie (1987) found that a more intense visual signal increased subjective duration estimates in pigeons, and a parallel effect has appeared in rats (Kraemer et aI., 1995). Visual intensity has also been found to affect duration perception in a similar fashion in humans (Brigner, 1986;Goldstone et al, 1978).…”

“…This paper focuses on the influence of signal properties on temporal processing. Although there is considerable evidence that signal characteristics influence temporal processing in humans (Allan, 1979;Block, 1990b;Brigner, 1986;Fraisse, 1984;Goldstone, Lhamon, & Sechzer, 1978;Nisly & Wasserman, 1989), there have been relatively few comparable studies with animals (Aschoff, 1979;Fuller & Edgar, 1986;Kraemer, Brown, & Randall, 1995;Mantanus, 1981;Wilkie, 1987). Considering the potential theoretical importance of this issue, it is surprising that there has not been more animal research devoted to it.…”

A duration matching-to-sample procedure was used to examine the influence of signal properties on temporal estimation and working memory. The results indicated that pigeons responded to durations of a light as if they were longer than equal durations of the absence of the same light, but delay performances did not differ between the two sample types. Similarly, pigeons responded to durations of a bright white light as if they were longer than equal durations of a dim red light, but again, delay performances did not differ between the two sample types. These results are discussed in terms of theoretical issues pertinent to timing, attention, and working memory.Both Pavlovian and instrumental conditioning are influenced by variations in stimulus properties such as modality, complexity, intensity, and salience (

“…Specifically, a relatively large luminous target was used, and the pre-and postexposure fields were kept dark. It should be noted, however, that such conditions are by no means unknown in time perception research (e.g., Allan, Kristofferson, & Rice, 1974;Allan, Kristofferson, & Wiens, 1971;Buffardi, 1971;Goldstone, Lhamon, & Sechzer, 1978), and they were considered entirely appropriate for the purpose of demonstrating that retinal variables can influence perceived duration estimates.…”

“…Recent data have suggested that interactions across audition and vision are difficult to reconcile with independent clock models , but more data are needed to formalize multisensory interactions during duration discrimination. One parsimonious explanation for the differences in perceived duration across sensory modalities may be the lack of intensity-matching controls; intensityduration tradeoffs have clear temporal effects on audition (Oléron 1952;Moore 1997) and vision (Goldstone et al 1978;Eagleman et al 2004). As such, prior evaluation of subjective intensity matching between an auditory and a visual event may lead to different patterns of results.…”

How long did it take you to read this sentence? Chances are your response is a ball park estimate and its value depends on how fast you have scanned the text, how prepared you have been for this question, perhaps your mood or how much attention you have paid to these words. Time perception is here addressed in three sections. The first section summarizes theoretical difficulties in time perception research, specifically those pertaining to the representation of time and temporal processing. The second section reviews non-exhaustively temporal effects in multisensory perception. Sensory modalities interact in temporal judgement tasks, suggesting that (i) at some level of sensory analysis, the temporal properties across senses can be integrated in building a time percept and (ii) the representational format across senses is compatible for establishing such a percept. In the last section, a two-step analysis of temporal properties is sketched out. In the first step, it is proposed that temporal properties are automatically encoded at early stages of sensory analysis, thus providing the raw material for the building of a time percept; in the second step, time representations become available to perception through attentional gating of the raw temporal representations and via re-encoding into abstract representations.
