Temporal discrimination was investigated by the methods of production, reproduction, constant stimuli, single stimuli, and estimation. The Weber function was found to give a good fit to the relation between ΔT and T; evidence was obtained that a dip in the Weber function at a short interval is not an essential feature of time estimation but may be due to the development of rhythmic modes of response or other factors. Productions or reproductions of intervals tend to lengthen during the course of a session at a rate proportionately greater for short intervals; but estimates tend to shorten. A model for the" internal clock" is described, based on a pacemaker, counter, store, and comparator with functional relations tending to reduce error, and it is shown to provide explanations for the Weber function, the indifference interval, overestimation of short and underestimation of long intervals, the features of" lengthening," assimilation, and other findings.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
