Overview

Experimental study examines how temporal context influences duration judgments, indicating effects may stem from response bias.

Key Points

  • The study aims to investigate whether central tendency effects and duration adaptation are based on altered perception of time or response bias.
  • Participants judged a target duration in short and long contextual durations.
  • Judgments were made using reproduction or estimation methods.
  • A between-block analysis compared effects of context on different judgment tasks.
  • Central tendency effects were observed in both reproduction and estimation tasks.
  • Attraction to temporal context diminished in estimation tasks compared to reproduction tasks.
  • In estimation tasks, judgments may even reverse to repulsion from the temporal context.
