| Abstract: | Three experiments investigated temporal generalization in humans. In Experiment 1, a peak shift effect was produced when participants
were given intradimensional discrimination training. In Experiment 2, after training with a standard S1 and generalization
testing with an asymmetrical series of durations, generalization gradients moved toward the prevailing adaptation level. In
Experiment 3, generalization gradients showed a central tendency shift and moved away from the S1 and toward the mean of the
test series (of 11 stimulus durations) after participants received training with S1 and S2 durations that in one condition
were the 2nd and 4th and in another condition were the 4th and 2nd stimuli in the series, respectively. The results were inconsistent
with an absolute account of peak shift but were consistent with an adaptation level account of peak shift. |
