What Happens in a Moment

چکیده
There has been evidence for the very brief, temporal quantization of perceptual experience at regular intervals below 100 ms for several decades. We briefly describe how earlier studies led to the concept of "psychological moment" of between 50 and 60 ms duration. According to historical theories, within the psychological moment all events would be processed as co-temporal. More recently, a link with physiological mechanisms has been proposed, according to which the 50-60 ms psychological moment would be defined by the upper limit required by neural mechanisms to synchronize and thereby represent a snapshot of current perceptual event structure. However, our own experimental developments also identify a more fine-scaled, serialized process structure within the psychological moment. Our data suggests that not all events are processed as co-temporal within the psychological moment and instead, some are processed successively. This evidence questions the analog relationship between synchronized process and simultaneous experience and opens debate on the ontology and function of "moments" in psychological experience.

Why is temporality only an effe...

متن کاملTEACHER NOTICING IN-THE-MOMENT OF INSTRUCTION: THE CASE OF ONE HIGH-SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHER Enacting science education reforms that call for the teaching of science as argument and explanation
Enacting science education reforms that call for the teaching of science as argument and explanation (NRC, 1996) requires that teachers both recognize student thinking as it happens and make in-the-moment instructional responses to what they notice. Much work in teacher education is thus devoted to studying, supporting, and improving teacher noticing (e.g. Sherin, 2001). However, although there...
متن کاملA Simple Camera Model
The images we process in computer vision are formed by light bouncing off surfaces in the world and into the lens of the camera. The light then hits an array of sensors inside the camera. Each sensor produces electric charges that are read by an electronic circuit and converted to voltages. These are in turn sampled by a device called a digitizer (or analog-to-digital converter) to produce the ...
