Inspired by Spence's seminal work on transposition, we propose a synthetic approach to
understanding the temporal control of operant behavior. The approach takes as primitives …

Facing resource constraints and fierce competition, it is relatively difficult for small firms to
achieve product innovation to gain sustainable development independently. Previous …

We examined whether temporal learning in a bisection task is absolute or relational. Eight
pigeons learned to choose a red key after a t-seconds sample and a green key after a 3t …

The capacity to adjust to temporal regularities in the environment is widespread in the
animal kingdom. Animals are able to tailor their behavior and physiology to a variety of …

In the study of animal timing over the last 100 years, we identify three different periods, each
characterized by a distinct activity. In the first period, researchers brought timing into the …

How our brains measure the passage of time is still largely open for debate. One behavioral
task commonly used to study how durations are perceived is the Temporal Bisection Task, in …

We examined whether temporal context influences how animals produce a time interval. Six
pigeons pecked one key to start an interval and then another key to end the interval …

We investigated the effects of interdimensional discrimination training in the temporal
generalization gradient. In a matching-to-sample task, pigeons learned to choose key S after …

Temporal bisection is a behavioral task used to study how we perceive time. However, it is
not fully clear how time perception should be interpreted in different variations of this task …
