“…For instance, research using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has revealed the engagement of modality-dependent brain networks for motor timing tasks paced using auditory or visual stimuli (Jancke, Loose, Lutz, Specht, & Shah, 2000;Penhune, Zatorre, & Evans, 1998). This research is supported by behavioral work showing that performance on timing tasks depends on the sensory modality over which temporal information is presented (Goldstone & Goldfarb, 1964;Penney, Gibbon, & Meck, 2000;Repp & Penel, 2002;Wearden, Edwards, Fakhri, & Percival, 1998). Additional task parameters that suggest the existence of multiple neural timing networks include the duration of the interval to be timed, the involvement of motor processes in performing timing, and whether discrete or rhythmic intervals are presented (see Lewis & Miall, 2003).…”

Mounting evidence suggests that information derived from environmental and behavioral sources is represented and maintained in the brain in a context-dependent manner. Here we investigate whether activity patterns underlying movements paced according to an internal temporal representation depend on how that representation is acquired during a previous pacing phase. We further investigate the degree to which context dependence is modulated by different time delays between pacing and continuation. BOLD activity was recorded while subjects moved at a rate established during a pacing interval involving either synchronized or syncopated coordination. Either no-delay or a 3, 6 or 9 s delay was introduced prior to continuation. Context-dependent regions were identified when differences in neural activity generated during pacing continued to be observed during continuation despite the intervening delay. This pattern was observed in pre-SMA, bilateral lateral premotor cortex, bilateral declive and left inferior semi lunar lobule. These regions were more active when continuation followed from syncopation than from synchronization regardless of the delay length putatively revealing a context-dependent neural representation of the temporal interval. Alternatively, task related regions in which coordination-dependent differences did not persist following the delay, included bilateral putamen and supplementary-motor-area. This network may support the differential timing demands of coordination. A classic prefrontal-parietal-temporal working memory network was active only during continuation possibly providing mnemonic support for actively maintaining temporal information during the variable delay. This work provides support for the hypothesis that some timing information is represented in a task-dependent manner across broad cortical and subcortical networks.

“…Second, visual signals are usually judged to be shorter than auditory ones, even when both signals are of equivalent duration (e.g., Behar & Bevan, 1961;Goldstone & Goldfarb, 1964;Goldstone & Lhamon, 1974;Penney, Gibbon, & Meck, 2000;Wearden, Edwards, Fakhri, & Percival, 1998). Therefore, it is possible that learning did not generalize from the auditory to the visual system in the present study because AE100 and VE100 differed in perceived duration (yet the same perceived duration might be necessary for transfer).…”

Perceptual learning was used to study potential transfer effects in a duration discrimination task. Subjects were trained to discriminate between two empty temporal intervals marked with auditory beeps, using a twoalternative forced choice paradigm. The major goal was to examine whether perceptual learning would generalize to empty intervals that have the same duration but are marked by visual flashes. The experiment also included longer intervals marked with auditory beeps and filled auditory intervals of the same duration as the trained interval, in order to examine whether perceptual learning would generalize to these conditions within the same sensory modality. In contrast to previous findings showing a transfer from the haptic to the auditory modality, the present results do not indicate a transfer from the auditory to the visual modality; but they do show transfers within the auditory modality.

“…Participants rated the apparent durations of moving shapes on a nine-point scale ranging from 1 (very short) to 9 (very long) (Goldstone & Goldfarb, 1964). For a given physical duration, distance moved and mean speed were kept constant while the rate of change in speed varied.…”

How do changes in speed affect the perception of duration?

Six experiments investigated how changes in stimulus speed influence subjective duration. Participants saw rotating or translating shapes in three conditions: constant speed, accelerating motion, and decelerating motion. The distance moved and average speed were the same in all three conditions. In temporal judgment tasks, the constant-speed objects seemed to last longer than the decelerating objects, which in turn seemed to last longer than the accelerating stimuli. In temporal reproduction tasks, the difference between accelerating and decelerating stimuli disappeared; furthermore, watching an accelerating shape lengthened the apparent duration of the subsequent (static) display. These results (a) suggest that temporal judgment and reproduction can dissociate for moving stimuli because the stimulus influences the apparent duration of the subsequent interval, and (b) constrain theories of time perception, including those which emphasize memory storage, those which emphasize the existence of a pacemakeraccumulator timing system, and those which emphasize the division of attention between temporal and non-temporal information processing.
