    "title": "Modality Differences in Timing: Testing the Pacemaker Speed Explanation",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "A classic effect in the timing field is that “sounds are judged\nlonger than lights” (Goldstone, Boardman & Lhamon, 1959).\nRecently, judgements for tactile durations have been found to\nfall between the two (Jones, Poliakoff & Wells, 2009). These\nmodality differences are commonly interpreted within scalar\ntiming theory as the work of a central pacemaker which runs\nfaster for sounds, then vibrations, and slowest for lights\n(Wearden, Edwards, Fakhri & Percival, 1998). We\ninvestigated whether verbal estimates and temporal difference\nthresholds are correlated within each modality, but found this\nnot to be the case. This suggests that differences in pacemaker\nspeed may not be the main driver for modality differences in\nthresholds. In addition, we investigated sensory bias as an\nalternative to the pacemaker explanation, but this was found\nnot to correlate with modality differences in timing.",
