perecption of durational variability

[Volker Dellwo <v.dellwo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list-members,

I am looking for research on a very specific topic:

I seem to remember that there is evidence for the hypothesis that 
listeners' ability to discriminate between the duration of two stimuli 
decreases with proportionally decreasing overall duration of the stimuli 
(i.e. increasing rate of the stimuli).

I have spent hours and hours today looking for this and found millions 
of influential factors on the perception of duration but not this. Does 
anybody have an idea where to look for?

Thanks in advance and best wishes,
Volker
