Abstract

Abstract Chronometric counting is a method to approximate the duration of a time interval by keeping track of the accumulation of its one-second subintervals. The ordinality of the number words is instrumental to this method, but whether also the magnitudes of these words affect the approximations remains unclear. The participants performed self-initiated and silent chronometric counting in different directions to produce target intervals prospectively. Two experiments were conducted. In Experiment 1, counting from 1- to 6-s target intervals started or stopped at zero. In Experiment 2, 1- or 2-s target intervals were counted with low-magnitude (1–3) or high-magnitude (4–6) number words. The participants were found to overproduce target intervals towards their shorter durations (Experiments 1 and 2) and, at a trend level, with downward rather than upward counting (Experiment 1 but not Experiment 2). They also produced target intervals as longer in duration with high- than low-magnitude number words (Experiment 2). The main findings suggest an involuntary magnitude effect of endogenously activated number words on subjective time.

无声计时计数产生的时间间隔不由自主地受到数字单词大小的影响
计时计数是一种通过跟踪一秒子间隔的累积来估计时间间隔持续时间的方法。数字词的序数有助于这种方法,但这些词的大小是否也影响近似值尚不清楚。参与者在不同的方向上进行自发和沉默的计时计数,以产生预期的目标间隔。进行了两个实验。在实验1中,从1到6秒的目标间隔计数开始或停止于0。实验2采用低量级(1 - 3)或高量级(4-6)数字词对1- s或2-s目标间隔进行计数。实验1和实验2发现,参与者在较短的持续时间内产生过多的目标间隔,并且在趋势水平上,向下计数而不是向上计数(实验1但不是实验2)。他们在高强度数字词上产生的目标间隔也比低强度数字词持续时间更长(实验2)。主要研究结果表明,内源性激活数字词对主观时间有非自愿的强度效应。

期刊介绍: Timing & Time Perception aims to be the forum for all psychophysical, neuroimaging, pharmacological, computational, and theoretical advances on the topic of timing and time perception in humans and other animals. We envision a multidisciplinary approach to the topics covered, including the synergy of: Neuroscience and Philosophy for understanding the concept of time, Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence for adapting basic research to artificial agents, Psychiatry, Neurology, Behavioral and Computational Sciences for neuro-rehabilitation and modeling of the disordered brain, to name just a few. Given the ubiquity of interval timing, this journal will host all basic studies, including interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary works on timing and time perception and serve as a forum for discussion and extension of current knowledge on the topic.
