“…It has been observed in many timing tasks and species (Allan 1998;Church et al 1994;Fetterman and Killeen 1992;Gibbon et al 1997;Merchant et al 2008c;Penney et al 2008). In addition, the scalar property is not followed by subjects with timing deficiencies, such as those with Parkinson's disease or cerebellar patients Harrington et al 1998;Merchant et al 2008a;Spencer et al 2003).…”

“…The fact that auditory signals are timed with greater precision and judged longer than equivalent duration visual signals is readily apparent in healthy children (5-8 yr old), as well as young and older adult human participants (Droit-Volet et al 2007;Lustig and Meck 2001;Penney et al 2000). In contrast, these auditory/visual modality differences are less pronounced and more dependent on the level of training and feedback in rodents (Cheng et al 2008;Meck 2005).…”

This study describes the psychometric similarities and differences in motor timing performance between 20 human subjects and three rhesus monkeys during two timing production tasks. These tasks involved tapping on a push-button to produce the same set of intervals (range of 450 to 1,000 ms), but they differed in the number of intervals produced (single vs. multiple) and the modality of the stimuli (auditory vs. visual) used to define the time intervals. The data showed that for both primate species, variability increased as a function of the length of the produced target interval across tasks, a result in accordance with the scalar property. Interestingly, the temporal performance of rhesus monkeys was equivalent to that of human subjects during both the production of single intervals and the tapping synchronization to a metronome. Overall, however, human subjects were more accurate than monkeys and showed less timing variability. This was especially true during the self-pacing phase of the multiple interval production task, a behavior that may be related to complex temporal cognition, such as speech and music execution. In addition, the wellknown human bias toward auditory as opposed to visual cues for the accurate execution of time intervals was not evident in rhesus monkeys. These findings validate the rhesus monkey as an appropriate model for the study of the neural basis of time production, but also suggest that the exquisite temporal abilities of humans, which peak in speech and music performance, are not all shared with macaques.

“…For example, when subjects are presented with various signal durations and are then instructed to reproduce these durations they tend to bias their reproductions towards the mean of the distribution of signal durations by overestimating short durations and underestimating long durations -an often unrecognized and underappreciated relationship known as Vierordt's law [4][5][6]. In addition, when auditory and visual signals are intermixed within a session, subjects tend to overestimate auditory signals and underestimate visual signals of equivalent duration [7][8][9][10][11][12]. The range and modality of experienced signal durations have been shown to contribute to distortions in timing and time perception.…”

“…In addition to the "memory-mixing" effects observed in a single sensory modality (e.g., audition), differences between auditory and visual stimuli can also contribute to distortions in timing and time perception [7][8][9][10][11][12]. The effect of signal modality on time perception has been mostly shown using the duration bisection task where "short" and "long" anchor durations are presented and subjects are required to categorize intermediate durations as being closer to the "short" or the "long" signal duration.…”

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.
