Life span developmental profiles were constructed for 305 participants (ages 4-95) for a
battery of paced and unpaced perceptual-motor timing tasks that included synchronize-continue …

This study considered a relation between rhythm perception skills and individual differences
in phonological awareness and grammar abilities, which are two language skills crucial for …

Relative merits of interval and entrainment conceptions of the internal clock were assessed
within a common theoretical framework by 4 time-judgment experiments. The timing of tone …

When people listen to music, they often move their body in time with the beat. However,
people differ widely in their tendency to ‘feel a beat’. Why? Here we combined functional …

Three experiments investigated the role of distal (ie, nonlocal) prosody in word segmentation
and lexical processing. In Experiment 1, prosodic characteristics of the initial five syllables …

It is a remarkable feat that listeners develop stable representations for auditory events, given
the varied, and often ambiguous, temporal patterning of acoustic energy received by the …

How we measure time and integrate temporal cues from different sensory modalities are
fundamental questions in neuroscience. Sensitivity to a “beat” (such as that routinely perceived …

The effect of deviations from temporal expectations on tempo discrimination was studied in
3 experiments using isochronous auditory sequences. Temporal deviations consisted of …

Many human behaviors reflect the attunement of our perceptual systems to rhythmic
patterns of stimulation. Examples include dancing to music, speech communication, and the …

The three experiments reported here demonstrated a cross-modal influence of an auditory
rhythm on the temporal allocation of visual attention. In Experiment 1, participants moved their …
