“…A one-way repeated-measures ANOVA showed that the mean PSE was significantly higher for the repeated than the novel condition, F (1, 11) = 6.94, p < 0.05, η p 2 = 0.39, showing a shortened perceived duration for the repeated character than the novel character. The finding is consistent with the literature (Birngruber et al, 2015b;Matthews, 2011;Matthews & Gheorghiu, 2016). The discrimination sensitivities, measured by the JNDs, failed to find any difference between two conditions, F (1, 11) = 1.41, p = 0.26, η p 2 = 0.11, BF = 0.59.…”

“…Our subjective time is susceptible to many factors, such as nontemporal properties, attention, emotion, action and intention, and prior experience (Allman, Teki, Griffiths, & Meck, 2014;Droit-Volet & Gil, 2009;Ganzenmüller, Shi, & Müller, 2012;Jia, Shi, & Feng, 2015;Matthews & Meck, 2016;Shi & Burr, 2016;Shi, Church, & Meck, 2013;Shi, Ganzenmüller, & Müller, 2013;Xuan, Zhang, He, & Chen, 2007). The latter, prior experience, causes various types of time distortions, such as spatialspecific duration compression (Johnston, Arnold, & Nishida, 2006), central tendency of duration judgment (Gu, Jurkowski, Shi, & Meck, 2016;Jazayeri & Shadlen, 2010;, odd-ball time dilation (Pariyadath & Eagleman, 2007;Tse, Intriligator, Rivest, & Cavanagh, 2004), and repetition compression (Birngruber, Schröter, & Ulrich, 2015b;Matthews, 2011;Matthews & Gheorghiu, 2016). One remarkable example is that repeating of the first item only once suffices to shortens the apparent duration (Birngruber et al, 2015b;Matthews, 2011), while the first item in a train of repeated displays seems longer than the subsequent items (Rose & Summers, 1995).…”

“…Earlier research, however, primarily focused on the repetition effect induced by repeating simple visual or auditory items (Birngruber et al, 2015b;Kim & McAuley, 2013;Matthews & Gheorghiu, 2016;Matthews & Meck, 2016). Complex stimuli, such as Chinese characters, not only appear as visual patterns of strokes but also invoke high-level phonological and semantic cognitive processing.…”

Our prior experience heavily influences our subjective time. One of such phenomena is repetition compression, that is, repeated stimuli are perceived shorter than novel stimuli. However, most of the studies on repetition compression used identical stimuli, leaving the question whether similar repetition effects could take place in phonological and semantic level repetition. We used Chinese characters to manipulate different levels of repetition in a duration discrimination task. We replicated earlier findings that repetition of visual identical characters shortened the apparent duration and found the repetition compression was spatially independent. Phonological repetition also caused the duration compression though the effect was weaker than the visual repetition. However, we observed no duration compression during the semantic repetition. The results suggest that repetition compression is mediated by visual and phonological representation of a stimulus in an early stage in processing hierarchy. We explained our findings according to the framework of predictive coding.

“…It was difficult to adopt a curve-fitting procedure (e.g., utilizing Gaussian function) for the estimation of PSE SL-LS because the results obtained from 10 (four from French-speaking and six from Japanese-speaking) participants did not conform to a bell-shaped function (i.e., showed no clear peak). 4 Alternatively, we estimated PSE SL-LS with the following formula according to the arithmetic average method (Guilford, 1954), which was equivalent with the estimation of the first moment in the waveform moment analysis (Birngruber, Schröter, & Ulrich, 2015;Cacioppo & Dorfman, 1987):…”

We investigated how perceived duration of empty time intervals would be modulated by the length of sounds marking those intervals. Three sounds were successively presented in Experiment 1. Each sound was short (S) or long (L), and the temporal position of the middle sound's onset was varied. The lengthening of each sound resulted in delayed perception of the onset; thus, the middle sound's onset had to be presented earlier in the SLS than in the LSL sequence so that participants perceived the three sounds as presented at equal interonset intervals. In Experiment 2, a short sound and a long sound were alternated repeatedly, and the relative duration of the SL interval to the LS interval was varied. This repeated sequence was perceived as consisting of equal interonset intervals when the onsets of all sounds were aligned at physically equal intervals. If the same onset delay as in the preceding experiment had occurred, participants should have perceived equality between the interonset intervals in the repeated sequence when the SL interval was physically shortened relative to the LS interval. The effects of sound length seemed to be canceled out when the presentation of intervals was repeated. Finally, the perceived duration of the interonset intervals in the repeated sequence was not influenced by whether the participant's native language was French or Japanese, or by how the repeated sequence was perceptually segmented into rhythmic groups.

Perceptual anchoring effects: Evidence of response bias and a change in estimates sensitivity

IntroductionPeople's estimates of perceptual quantities are commonly biased by the contextual presence of other quantities (like numbers). In this study, we address assimilation anchoring effects (approximation of real quantities to contextual quantities) that occur for visually displayed proportions, defining a new methodological setting for the effect.MethodSimilar to classic approaches, we asked participants across several trials whether the display contained a feature in a proportion higher or lower than “a randomly selected value” (relative judgments), and then estimated the feature proportions (absolute judgments). Across all trials, we presented seven anchors ranging from .20 to .80, each with a visually displayed representation of the same seven proportions (49 judgments in total). This allowed for a psychophysical approach to individual estimates and signal detection indexes, providing new insights into how the anchoring effect is generated in this setting.ResultsOur findings suggest that anchoring effects occur both as a bias (changes in response criteria) and as a change in the ability to discriminate stimuli (affecting sensitivity indexes). Moreover, anchors modulate the level of stimuli features for which estimates were more uncertain. Finally, our results indicate that anchor effects occur immediately in the first phase of the two‐phase paradigm, leading to the availability of values for supporting absolute estimates.ConclusionBy using a psychophysical approach to the anchoring effects, for the first time, we could clarify that this effect is the result of both bias and changes in the ability to discriminate quantity.
