  • Title: A further analysis of time bisection behavior in children with and without reference memory: the similarity and the partition task.
    Author: Droit-Volet S, Rattat AC.
    Journal: Acta Psychol (Amst); 2007 Jun; 125(2):240-56. PubMed ID: 17055990.
    Abstract:
    Experiment 1 compared the temporal performance of 5-year-olds, 8-year-olds and adults in a bisection task with and without referent durations (similarity vs. partition). The results showed that temporal sensitivity was lower in the partition than in the similarity condition in children, whereas it was similar in these two conditions in the adults. In addition, the 5-year-olds produced a higher bisection point value in the partition than in the similarity task. Experiment 2, which examined changes in bisection performance over the trial blocks in the partition task, revealed that the 5-year-olds' bisection performance improved over the trial blocks, whereas the performance of the older participants did not. Further analyses revealed a greater variability in the establishment of the duration criterion in young children.
