Re: perecption of durational variability
Title: Re: perecption of durational
variability
Dear Volker:
I believe you are referring to the finding that Weber's law,
which holds approximately (though not precisely) for duration
discrimination, breaks down at short durations, typically between 200
and 300 ms. A good review of findings on this topic is provided
in
Friberg, A., &
Sundberg, J. (1995). Time discrimination in a monotonic, isochronous
sequence. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 98,
2524-2531.
Best,
Bruno
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
