Abstract
"Eight O''s were instructed to respond to a tone or light, whose duration was randomly set at 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 sec., by pressing a button that again turned on the tone or light for a length of time considered by O equal to the original stimulus-duration ... Experimental conditions were so arranged that the dark or light (or quiet or noise) environment during stimulation could be changed to light or dark (noise or quite) during the response." Results indicate that apparent duration is dependent upon the level of auditory stimulation and is independent of the level of visual stimulation.Keywords
