空间对时间的心理依赖性首先由贝努西在视觉上和盖尔布在触觉上表现出来。三个刺激在相同的空间，但不相等的时间间隔连续。如果第一个和第二个刺激之间的时间比第二个和第三个刺激之间的时间短，那么1和2的空间间隔似乎比2和3之间的间隔短。赫尔森称之为tau效应，以区别于纯粹的“错觉”功能，因为判断错误或注意力或暗示的影响。这是不同研究者在视觉、听觉和触觉中观察到的一种现象，易于进行定量处理。“即使O们意识到它的性质和造成它的条件，它也会出现并持续存在。“使用kinohapt，由3个控制刺激棒组成，重11.5克。并在皮肤上落下2mm，以及换向器型间隔计时器，在8个S上进行实验，将两个空间间隔中的第二个与第一个进行比较。空间间隔s为30 mm，并且这与点1和点2的刺激之间的时间t成反比。所以2和3。研究发现，”时间间隔之间的差异越大，为了抵消tau效应，相反意义上的空间差异就必须越大。“当点3与点1的位置相同时，观察到相同的tau效应，距离似乎比第一种条件下更易变。这一发现使得触觉局部签名学说更加站不住脚。作者认为，“兴奋波从每个点到达或通过大脑中某个共同区域的时间可能是tau效应的原因。“（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2016阿帕，保留所有权利）
The psychological dependence of space on time was first shown by Benussi in vision and by Gelb in touch. Three stimuli are presented in succession at equal spatial but unequal temporal intervals. If the time between the first and second stimulus is shorter than that between numbers two and three, then the space separation of 1 and 2 appears shorter than that between 2 and 3. Helson has called this the tau effect to distinguish it from a function purely" illusory," due to error of judgment or some effect of attention or suggestion. It is a phenomenon observed in vision, hearing and touch by different investigators and is susceptible to quantitative treatment." It appears and persists even when the O's are aware of its nature and the conditions responsible for it." Using a kinohapt, consisting of 3 solenoids controlling stimulator rods weighing 11.5 gm. and dropped 2 mm. on the skin, and a commutator type interval timer, experiments were made on 8 S's, comparing the second of the two spatial intervals with the first. The spatial interval s was 30 mm., and this was altered inversely with t, the time between stimulation of points 1 and 2. So with 2 and 3. It was found that" the greater the difference between the temporal intervals, the greater must the spatial difference in the opposite sense be in order to offset the tau effect." When point 3 was made identical in location with point 1, the same tau effect was observed and the distances appeared even more variable than under the first conditions. This finding makes even less tenable the doctrine of tactual local signature. The authors believe that" the time of arrival of the waves of excitation from each spot at or through some common region in the brain may be responsible for the tau effect."(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
