“One-thousandone … one-thousandtwo …”: Chronometric counting violates the scalar property in interval timing

"One-thousand one... one-thousand two...": chronometric counting violates the scalar property in interval timing.

Weber's law applied to interval timing is called the scalar property. A hallmark of timing in the seconds-to-minutes range, the scalar property is characterized by proportionality between the standard deviation of a response distribution and the duration being timed. In this temporal reproduction study, we assessed whether the scalar property was upheld when participants chronometrically counte...

Hyperbolic Discounting Emerges from the Scalar Property of Interval Timing

Ten dollars today is more attractive than the same amount of money tomorrow and is consistent with the well known proverb, “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” We all know that the value of a reward is discounted over time. How the value discounts over time and what is the rationale for such discounting, however, is less clear. Classical economic theory has assumed an exponential form...

One-Sided Interval Trees

We give an alternative treatment and extension of some results of Itoh and Mahmoud on one-sided interval trees. The proofs are based on renewal theory, including a case with mixed multiplicative and additive renewals.

The One-Equator Property

The effects of one period interval training and resveratrol supplementation

Background: Interval exercises are a way to improve exercise performance. Oxidative stress caused by interval exercises and stress on the immune system is possible induced apoptosis change in indicators Bax and Bcl-2. Resveratrol may be effective in reducing apoptosis induced by interval exercises. The present study investigates the simultaneous use of resveratrol and interval exercises on apop...
