Duration Comparisons for Vision and Touch Are Dependent on Presentation Order and Temporal Context.

ABSTRACT: Integrating visual and tactile information in the temporal domain is critical for active perception. To accomplish this, coordinated timing is required. Here, we study perceived duration within and across these two modalities. Specifically, we examined how duration comparisons within and across vision and touch were influenced by temporal context and presentation order using a two-interval forced choice task. We asked participants to compare the duration of two temporal intervals defined by tactile or visual events. Two constant standard durations (700 ms and 1,000 ms in 'shorter' sessions; 1,000 ms and 1,500 ms in 'longer' sessions) were compared to variable comparison durations in different sessions. In crossmodal trials, standard and comparison durations were presented in different moda
