Estimated duration for rotating-spot-pattern

概要

Two experiments were carried out to investigate duration estimation of rotating-spot-patterns under a situation with the minimum cue to frequency. Twenty-four undergraduates were used as subjects in each experiment. The magnitude estimation method was used in Experiment I, where for a constant duration, the estimate of the duration increased with the velocity of the rotation of the pattern except for that of stationary pattern, where the duration was estimated longer than that for the slowest of the moving patterns. The same tendencies were observed in Experiment II, where the magnitude production method was used. The multiple regression analysis suggested that the best model which explains the velocity effects upon time estimation was a multiplicative one and contained a quadratic function of logarithmically transformed velocity in both experiments. The explanatory principles of the velocity effects and the validity of the model were discussed in the light of past studies.
