Duration Discrimination Task - English
The duration discrimination task as described in Whitman et al (2007).
Paced Motor Timing Task - English
A time estimation task in which participants synchronize responses with a steady series of beeps as described in Wittman et al (2007).
Prospective Time Estimation Task - English
The single trial in which the respondent estimates the interval (in seconds) between the onset of two stimul as descripted in Whitman et al (2007).
Temporal Reproduction Task - English
Respondents hear a tone play for a given duration, and then interrupt a second tone when they think it has played for the same duration as described in Whitman et al (2007).
Time Wall Estimation Task - English
A time estimation task in which participants estimate when an occluded, moving object reaches a target point as described in Englund et al (1987)
