“…Recent research has demonstrated that working memory, attention and executive functions are critical to temporal perception (Block, Zakay, & Hancock, 1998;Brown, 2006Brown, , 2014Brown, Collier, & Night, 2013;Droit-Volet & Zélanti, 2013;Fortin, Schweickert, Gaudreault, & Viau-Quesnel, 2010;Mioni, Mattalia, & Stablum, 2013;Ogden, Salominaite, Jones, Fisk, & Montgomery, 2011;Perbal, Droit-Volet, Isingrini, & Pouthas, 2002;Pouthas & Perbal, 2004;Rattat, 2010;Wearden, Wearden, & Rabbitt, 1997;Zakay & Block, 2004;Zélanti & Droit-Volet, 2011, 2012. There remains, however, a lack of clarity regarding specifically which working memory and executive functions are involved in timing, and the extent to which their involvement is common to all temporal tasks.…”

“…This implies that the segmentation based solely on stimulus-driven bottom-up processes is insufficient to produce the longer duration effect. This may suggest a contribution of executive processes to duration estimation (e.g., Brown 1997Brown , 2006Brown et al 2013Brown et al , 2015Mioni et al 2014;Ogden et al 2011Ogden et al , 2014. One possible explanation is that the increased attention to the changes in sensory intensity required in the dynamic conditions reinforced the segmentation process (e.g., through top-down enhancement of sensory contrasts), leading to longer duration judgments.…”

The delayed reproduction of long time intervals defined by innocuous thermal sensation

The presence of discrete events during an interval to be estimated generally causes a dilation of perceived duration (event-filling effect). Here, we investigated this phenomenon in the thermal modality using multi-seconds (19 s) innocuous cool stimuli that were either constant (continuous interval) or fluctuating to create three discrete sensory events (segmented interval). Moreover, we introduced a delay following stimulus offset, before the reproduction phase, to allow for a direct comparison with our recent study showing an underestimation of duration in a delayed reproduction task of heat pain sensations (Khoshnejad et al. in Pain 155:581-590, 2014. doi: 10.1016/j.pain.2013.12.015 ). The event-filling effect was tested by comparing the delayed reproduction of the segmented and the continuous stimuli in experimental conditions asking participants to (1) reproduce the dynamics of the sensation (i.e., changes in sensory intensity over time) or (2) reproduce only the interval duration (i.e., sensation onset-to-offset). A perceptual (control) condition required participants to report changes in sensation concurrently with the stimulus. Results of the dynamic task confirmed the underestimation of duration in the delayed reproduction task, but this effect was only found with the continuous and not with the segmented stimulus. This implies that the dilation of duration produced by segmentation might compensate for the underestimation of duration in this delayed reproduction task. However, this temporal dilation effect was only observed when participants were required to attend and reproduce the dynamics of sensation. These results suggest that the event-filling effect can be observed in the thermal sensory modality and that attention directed toward changes in sensory intensity might contribute to this effect.

“…Усвоение заданного ритма может являться простей-шим примером тайминга (от англ. timing) -способно-сти прогнозирования последующего события, тесно связанной с исполнительными функциями -рабочей памятью, ингибированием, планированием [1,2]. Та-ким образом, становится очевидным участие ритми-ческих процессов не только в музыкальном восприя-тии, чтении, но и в когнитивной деятельности [3][4][5][6].…”

“…Они показывают, что улучшение восприятия времени через трениров-ку ритмического чувства приводит к увеличению количества белого вещества и улучшению работы исполнительных функций [31]. Рабочая память так же принимает участие в восприятии времени, как не-который конечный ресурс, который при увеличении трудности задачи или увеличении решаемых задач исчерпывается, что приводит к ошибкам, в том чис-ле в восприятии временных интервалов [1]. Также было показано, что исполнительные функции могут оказывать влияние при повторении заданного ритма.…”
