Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Target detection failures in Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) sequences inflate perceived duration. Cognitive load, not frame count, determines perceived time during attentional blink.

Area of Science:

Cognitive Psychology
Perception Science

Background:

Perceived duration typically decreases with fewer perceived events.
Attentional blink can cause target detection failures in Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) sequences.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate if attentional blink-induced target detection failures influence perceived duration.
To differentiate the impact of target detection from frame count on perceived duration in RSVP.

Main Methods:

Two experiments using RSVP sequences with varying numbers of embedded targets (numerals).
Participants compared perceived duration and frame count between a target-present sequence and a target-absent sequence.
Judgments involved comparing perceived duration (Experiment 1) and perceived frame count (Experiment 2).

Main Results:

Perceived duration was significantly inflated by successful target detection.
Perceived duration was not affected by the increment of presented frames.
The number of perceived frames increased with both target detection and frame increments.

Conclusions:

Perceived duration in RSVP is primarily driven by the cognitive load of target detection.
The number of perceived frames does not directly dictate perceived duration.
Cognitive processing demands, rather than sensory input quantity, shape temporal perception during attentional blink.
