摘要
When the timing of an event is predictable, humans automatically form implicit time-based event expectations. We investigated whether these expectations rely on absolute (e.g., 800 ms) or relative (e.g., a shorter duration) representations of time. In a choice-response task with two different pre-target intervals, participants implicitly learned that targets were predictable by interval durations. In a test phase, the two intervals were either considerably shortened or lengthened. In both cases, behavioral tendencies transferred from practice to test according to relative, not absolute, interval duration. We conclude that humans employ relative representations of time periods when forming time-based event expectations. These results suggest that learned time-based event expectations (e.g., in communication and human–machine interaction) should transfer to faster or slower environments if the relative temporal distribution of events is preserved.
