Abstract
This paper describes the use of a novel method and apparatus for the study of time perception. This method of concurrent comparisons requires temporal discrimination among visual signals in the absence of appropriate exteroceptive cues. Seventy-two Ss were asked to identify from a panel of 9 flashing lights the one light containing interflash intervals of fixed duration. Three intervals under 1.0 sec. were used. Sex differences and feedback were significant variables. Duration of interval, use of rhythm or kinesthetic cues, and practice had little effect on performance.
