abstract = {In time reproduction tasks, the reaction time of motor
responses is intrinsically linked to the measure of
perceptual timing. Decisions are based on a continuous
comparison between elapsed time and a memory trace of the
to-be-reproduced interval. Here, we investigate the
possibility that negative reproduction errors can be
explained by the tendency to prefer earlier over later
response times, or whether the whole range of possible
response times is shifted. In experiment 1, we directly
compared point reproduction (participants indicate the exact
time point of equality) and range reproduction (participants
bracket an interval containing this time point). In
experiment 2, participants indicated, in three separate
tasks, the exact time point at which the reproduction phase
was equal to the standard duration (point reproduction), the
earliest (start reproduction), or the latest moment (stop
reproduction) at which the exact time point of equality
might have been reached. The results demonstrate that the
bias towards earlier responses not only affects reproduction
of the exact time point of equality. Rather, even if the
decision threshold is changed in favor of late responses,
they exhibit a continuous shift towards negative errors that
increases with the length of the standard duration. The
findings are discussed in the context of the hypothesis that
systematic errors in time reproduction tasks reflect a
dimension-unspecific tendency towards earlier responses
caused by the psychophysical method rather than by a
time-specific perceptual distortion.},
