Timing Research Forum 4

Chair:Tutku Oztel(George Mason University)

Recent studies have demonstrated that the scope of the metacognitive abilities can be expanded to time and other metric domains, reflected in a trial-by-trial match between timing errors and error monitoring components. This reveals a robust temporal error monitoring ability that can also be observed in numerosity and spatial forms. The symposium aims at providing an extensive discussion on different levels of explanation of temporal error monitoring by bringing together speakers that employ diverse methodologies in humans, rodents, and computational modeling.
The first speaker will discuss how different methodological approaches can capture differential cognitive/phenomenological aspects of the metric error monitoring ability and shed light into our understanding of it at the cognitive level. The second speaker will discuss how this ability takes place at the computational level along with providing insights on its manifestation in mouse behavior. The last speaker will discuss how domain generality of temporal error monitoring can be investigated with motor action taking along with its physiological markers. While aiming at providing different methodological and theoretical approaches for the study of temporal error monitoring, this symposium series would be of particular interest for all researchers who aim to study time perception and magnitude representations at the consciousness level.
