Psychophysical studies typically test attentional mechanisms in isolation, but in everyday life
they interact to optimize human behavior. We investigated whether spatial and temporal …

While there is ample evidence for the ability to selectively attend to where in space and
when in time a relevant event might occur, it remains poorly understood whether spatial and …

Abstract Space and time mutually influence each other such that space affects time
estimation (space-on-time effect), and conversely (time-on-space effect). These reciprocal …

Temporal information is essential for effective perception and action in the dynamic
environment in which we exist. However, our ability to use information about time intervals …

The time course of attention has often been investigated using a spatial cuing task.
However, attention likely consists of multiple components, such as selectivity (resolving …

Sensory signals continuously enter the brain, raising the question of how perceptual
systems handle this constant flow of input. Attention to an anticipated point in time can …

In addition to the classic finding that “sounds are judged longer than lights,” the timing of
auditory stimuli is often more precise and accurate than is the timing of visual stimuli. In …

It has recently been stated that exogenous attention impairs temporal-resolution tasks (Hein,
Rolke, & Ulrich, 2006; Rolke, Dinkelbach, Hein, & Ulrich, 2008; Yeshurun, 2004; Yeshurun & …

Orienting attention in time enables us to prepare for forthcoming perception and action (eg,
estimating the duration of a yellow traffic light when driving). While temporal orienting can …

Attention is engaged differently depending on the type and utility of an attentional cue. Some
cues like visual transients or social gaze engage attention effortlessly. Others like symbols or …
