Abstract: | Two experiments are reported that demonstrate temporal integration of independently acquired temporal relationships, including
backward associations, in both human (Experiment 1) and nonhuman (rats, Experiment 2) subjects. The experiments were designed
and analyzed in the framework of the temporal coding hypothesis (e.g., Matzel, Held, & Miller, 1988; Savastano & Miller, 1998)
as a strategy toward illuminating the use of temporal information and assessing the existence of temporal backward associations.
Both experiments provided evidence of retrieval of associations to an event that was expected to occur prior to the moment
in time at which a stimulus was presented (i.e., backward associations). In addition, Experiment 1 constitutes the first controlled
demonstration of temporal integration by human subjects. |
