Should we prefer one long look to two quick looks of equal overall duration? The authors systematically compared conditions in which a circular letter array was available either for a single look of 2d ms duration (onset asynchrony [SOA] from target to mask) or for two separate looks of d ms each. On the basis of the geometry of the underlying…

This study tested the hypothesis that memory is a major source of variance in temporal processing. Participants categorized intervals as short or long. The number of base durations and interval types mixed within blocks of trials varied from 1 session to another. Results revealed that mixing 2 base durations within blocks increased categorization…

A relatively simple procedure for modeling periodic components in time series data is presented in this paper, along with an example of the procedure's use with communication data. Similar to multiple regression analysis, the described procedure has four steps that are based on information about periodic waves and their components, how to create…
