“…Effects of auditory stimulation. The results of the present study tend to support the findings obtained by Whitley and Anderson (1930). It will be recalled that these authors found that intervals filled with a buzzer tone seem shorter than unfilled intervals.…”

“…7), the evidence as to the effects of sensory stimulation on time estimation is contradictory. In an early study, Whitley and Anderson (1930) found that IS-, 30-and 45-second intervals filled with a buzzer tone appear shorter than unfilled intervals of similar duration. However, Goldstone and Goldfarb (1963), using .15-to 1.95-second intervals, found that filled intervals appear longer than unfilled ones.…”

“…Although early investigations of the judgment of filled and unfilled time have produced inconsistent results (Gilliland, Hofeld, & Eckstrand, 1946;Triplett, 1931;Whitely & Anderson, 1930), a recent experiment verified James' prediction. It was found that filled visual durations were judged longer than unfilled intervals bounded by flashes of the same light (Goldfarb & Goldstone, 1963b).…”

Previous studies have shown a consistent intersensory difference in absolute judgments of the duration of continuous auditory and visual inputs. More visual than auditory clock time was judged equivalent to specific temporal concepts. Two experiments investigated this intersensory phenomenon further by comparing the judgments of filled auditory and visual durations with the estimation of unfilled intervals bounded by discrete lights and sounds. Auditory durations were judged longer than visual for the filled and unfilled conditions, and filled auditory durations were judged longer than unfilled auditory intervals The intersensory difference in time judgment was independent of stimulus pattern while the filled-unfilled difference was dependent upon sense mode, order effects and internal temporal standard. Stimulus properties must be cons~dered when interpreting the results of time judgment research.

“…For example, the rest period was on average judged to last 241.7 s, but the intervals filled with dictation and division 174.6 and 168.9 s, respectively. Whitely and Anderson (1930) compared judgements of the durations of three types of intervals, empty click-defined intervals, an interval filled with a non-rhythmical buzzer, and an interval filled with music (Johann Strauss's Radetsky March). In their first experiment intervals of 15, 30, and 45 s were used, with a verbal estimation method.…”

Data relevant to the ‘filled-duration illusion’, the claim that filled intervals appear to last longer than unfilled ones of the same real duration, are reviewed. A distinction is made between divided-time studies (where an empty interval has one or more than one brief dividing stimulus inside it) and filled-duration studies (where the filled intervals are filled with some continuous event). Divided durations appear to last longer than empty ones, and the effect grows with the number of dividers, although it may be restricted to short durations. The best current explanation appears to involve the weighted summation of the different subintervals of which the total duration is composed. When intervals with simple fillers are contrasted with empty ones, they are usually judged as longer, and the effect may grow as the intervals lengthen, at least over short duration ranges. When complex fillers are used, fillers usually have no effect on perceived duration or shorten it. A pacemaker-counter approach can account for some simple filler effects, and division of attention for complex filler effects. Although there are some exceptions, ‘filled-interval illusions’ of all these types are normally found, but some problems, such as questions about the relative perceived variability of filled and unfilled intervals, or stimulus order effects, merit further research.
