Auditory stimuli pace significantly impacts time perception. Faster training paces led to overestimations of interval duration, while slower paces caused underestimations, demonstrating the filled interval effect with sound.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Auditory Perception
  • Time Estimation

Background:

  • The filled interval effect, typically studied with visual stimuli, describes how the presence of stimuli within an interval influences time perception.
  • Previous research primarily compared filled versus unfilled intervals, leaving the effect of stimulus pace within filled intervals less explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the filled interval effect using auditory stimuli.
  • To examine how varying the pace of auditory stimuli within filled intervals affects participants' time estimations.
  • To determine if the pace of stimuli in both training and test intervals influences duration judgments.

Main Methods:

  • 25 participants estimated interval durations filled with auditory tones at slow, medium, or fast paces.

  • Participants reproduced the duration of a 'training' interval in a subsequent 'test' interval.
  • All combinations of training and test interval paces were presented to assess their interactive effects.

    • Main Results:

    • Estimates were longer than actual durations when the training pace was fast and the test pace was medium or slow.
    • Estimates were shorter than actual durations when the training pace was slow and the test pace was medium or fast.
    • Participants tended to overestimate shorter intervals and underestimate longer intervals, supporting Vierordt's law.

    Conclusions:

    • The pace of auditory stimuli within filled intervals significantly influences time perception, extending the filled interval effect to auditory domains.
    • The interaction between training and test interval paces affects duration estimates, suggesting a complex interplay in temporal processing.
    • Findings support Vierordt's law, indicating a consistent bias in time perception related to interval length.
