Abstract:
:Two distinct conceptualisations of processing mechanisms have been proposed in the research on the perception of temporal order, one that assumes a central-timing mechanism that is involved in the detection of temporal order independent of modality and stimulus type, another one assuming feature-specific mechanisms that are dependent on stimulus properties. In the present study, four different temporal-order judgement tasks were compared to test these two conceptualisations, that is, to determine whether common processes underlie temporal-order thresholds over different modalities and stimulus types or whether distinct processes are related to each task. Measurements varied regarding modality (visual and auditory) and stimulus properties (auditory modality: clicks and tones; visual modality: colour and position). Results indicate that the click and the tone paradigm, as well as the colour and position paradigm, correlate with each other. Besides these intra-modal relationships, cross-modal correlations show dependencies between the click, the colour and the position tasks. Both processing mechanisms seem to influence the detection of temporal order. While two different tones are integrated and processed by a more independent, possibly feature-specific mechanism, a more central, modality-independent timing mechanism contributes to the click, colour and position condition.
