Attention and Interference in Prospective and Retrospective Timing
@article{Brown1992AttentionAI, title={Attention and Interference in Prospective and Retrospective Timing}, author={Scott W. Brown and D. Alan Stubbs}, journal={Perception}, year={1992}, volume={21}, pages={545 - 557} }
Subjects listened to a series of musical selections and then judged the duration of each selection. Some subjects were informed beforehand that timing was involved (prospective timing) whereas others were informed afterwards (retrospective timing). Half the groups performed a concurrent proofreading task during stimulus presentation. The results showed a trade-off between temporal and nontemporal task performance: prospective-timing groups were more accurate in judging time and were worse at…

Time Perception during Retrospective and Prospective Paradigms with a Distraction

Time duration estimates can play an intricate part of one’s daily life. This study examined the time duration judgments in two paradigms, when participants were aware they were being timed…
Prospective and retrospective duration judgments: an executive-control perspective.
- Psychology, BiologyActa neurobiologiae experimentalis
- 2004
Two experiments in which durations involved with high-level, executive-control functions were judged either prospectively or retrospectively, finding that different cognitive processes underlie prospective and retrospective timing are supported.
Time Perception, Estimation Paradigm, and Temporal Relevance
- PsychologyPerceptual and motor skills
- 2007
The results contrasted with most findings of comparisons between prospective and retrospective duration judgments: there were no differences between the conditions regarding their mean estimates, but intersubject variability of temporal judgments was higher in the retrospective conditions than in the prospective conditions.
Influence of Individual Differences in Temporal Sensitivity on Timing Performance
- PsychologyPerception

The results demonstrate cross-situational consistency in timing performance across different tasks, time-judgment methods, and stimulus durations.
Attentional resources in timing: Interference effects in concurrent temporal and nontemporal working memory tasks
- PsychologyPerception & psychophysics
- 1997
The main results showed the classic interference effect in timing, which is, the concurrent nontemporal tasks caused temporal productions to become longer and/or more variable than did timing-only conditions.
Attentional Mechanisms during the Performance of a Subsecond Timing Task
- Psychology, BiologyPloS one
- 2016
Timing in the subsecond range seems invariant despite the use of different attentional strategies, and future research should determine whether the selection of attentional mechanisms is related to particular timing tasks or instructions or whether it represents idiosyncratic cognitive “styles”.
Temporal Judgments: The Effects of Sensory Interference and Limited Attention
- Psychology

Based on theories of sensory interference and limited attention and on the previous finding of Brown and Stubbs (1992), it was hypothesized that (a) timing judgments are more accurate when…

There are two main models of time perception, attention-based models, and memorybased models. The aim of this study was to determine which model best explained retrospective time perception of a long…

Timing and executive function: Bidirectional interference between concurrent temporal production and randomization tasks
- Psychology, BiologyMemory & cognition
- 2006
A review of interference effects in concurrent temporal/nontemporal dual-task studies suggests that prospective timing may be related to executive cognitive functions, and a pattern of bidirectional interference supports the idea that timing relies on the same attentional resources used by other executive-level tasks.

The Psychophysics of Retrospective and Prospective Timing
- PsychologyPerception
- 1988
Comparisons under retrospective and prospective conditions suggest that timing under these conditions, although different in some respects, reflects a similar process, and raises questions about prior research on stimulus factors and retrospective timing.

The results are consistent with an attentional allocation model, and they suggest that nontemporal task demands disrupt or interfere with timing in both prospective and retrospective situations.

There is no relationship between the alpha rhythm and temporal estimations (Adam et al 1971), however, Coffin & Ganz found in the estimation of a 5 sec task a high correlation between the estima tions and the weighted mean frequency of the EEG close to the alpha frequency.
