Time processing in children with Tourette's syndrome.
2010
Background: Tourette syndrome (TS) is characterized by dysfunctional connectivity between prefrontal cortex and sub-cortical structures, and altered meso-cortical and/or meso-striatal dopamine release. Since time processing is also regulated by fronto-striatal circuits and modulated by dopaminergic transmission, we hypothesized that time processing is abnormal in TS. Methods: We compared time processing abilities between nine children with TS-only (i.e. without major psychiatric comorbidities) and 10 age-matched healthy children, employing a time reproduction task in which subjects actively reproduce different temporal intervals, and a time comparison task in which subjects judge whether a …
Time reproduction of structured auditory events by deaf and hearing subjects
2009
Congenital deafness affects different aspects of information processing and time perception. In deafness the accuracy of duration judgments seems to be linked to differences in the use of conventional time units, applied strategy as well as cognitive processes such as attention or working memory (Kowalska & Szelag, 2006). The present experiment investigated the effect of different event structures on duration reproduction in deaf and normal hearing subjects. The accuracy and variability of performances were calculated respectively by means of the absolute error score and coefficient of variation of time reproductions. Results showed a global underestimation of durations for all subjects; mo…
