    "title": "An ACT-R Model of the Choose-Short Effect in Time and Length",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Duration of an event tends to be underestimated as it becomes\ntemporally distant (Spetch & Wilkie, 1983). The current study\ninvestigated this so-called choose-short effect in time and\nlength in order to reevaluate the claim that the choose-short\neffect is special to temporal memory (Wearden, Parry, &\nStamp, 2002). Participants made discrimination judgments in\ntime or length on a pair of line stimuli separated by a delay.\nThe stimulus presented during delay was varied in time or\nlength. A length manipulation intended to be an analogue of\ntemporal delay induced the choose-short effect in length\ndiscrimination. We developed a computational model based\non ACT-R memory mechanisms (Anderson et al., 2004) to\naccount for the main results in both time and length. The\ncurrent results indicate that domain-general memory\nprinciples could account for the seemingly unique temporal\nphenomenon.",
