Naming analog clocks conceptually facilitates naming digital clocks.
This study investigates how speakers of Dutch compute and produce relative time expressions. Naming digital clocks (e.g., 2:45, say "quarter to three") requires conceptual operations on the minute and hour information for the correct relative time expression. The interplay of these conceptual operations was investigated using a repetition priming paradigm. Participants named analog clocks (the ...
متن کاملCalling Time on Digital Clocks
I explore two logical possibilities for the discretization of time, termed “instantaneous” and “smeared”. These are found by discretizing a continuous theory, and the resulting structure of configuration space and velocities are described. It is shown that results known in numerical methods for integration of dynamical systems preclude the existence of a system with fixed discrete time step whi...
متن کاملMaintaining Digital Clocks In StepAnish
A system of simultaneously triggered clocks is designed to be stabilizing: if the clock values ever diier, the system is guaranteed to converge to a state where all clock values are identical, and are subsequently maintained to be identical. For an N-clock system, the design uses N registers of 2 log N bits each and guarantees convergence to identical values within N 2 \triggers".
متن کاملCircadian Biology: Clocks within Clocks
A small cluster of approximately 20,000 neurons in the ventral hypothalamus provide the body with key time-keeping signals and drive circadian rhythms. This circadian clock exhibits surprisingly complex substructures, with inputs from the retina, and outputs to other brain structures. Rather little is known of the neurotransmitters involved, or their regulation.
متن کاملTelling time from analog and digital clocks: a multiple-route account.
Does the naming of clocks always require conceptual preparation? To examine this question, speakers were presented with analog and digital clocks that had to be named in Dutch using either a relative (e.g., "quarter to four") or an absolute (e.g., "three forty-five") clock time expression format. Naming latencies showed evidence of conceptual preparation when speakers produced relative time exp...
