Prospective Comparison Tasks in ASC

Sample ASC NT Task Main conclusions Commentaries
Allman et al. [2011] n 13 12 Temporal bisection

Bisection point in ASC shorter than NT in two anchors (1–4 and 2–8 sec)

No differences in WR in anchor 1–4 sec

Higher WR in ASC in anchor 2–8 sec

Small sample

Weak characterization of the control group

Age 10.3 10.3
IQ 92.31 109.8
Gil et al. [2012] n 12 12 Temporal bisection

No differences in BP, DL or WR

Good adjustment to scalar timing properties in both groups

Small sample

Changes in the research paradigms were introduced to maintain participants' attention; however, this effect was not tested

Age 13 13.21
IQ 94.37 101.45
Brodeur et al. [2014] n 15 15 Temporal Generalization No group main effect, but group by duration main effect was reached

Small sample

No computer modeling or signal detection theory applied in either task

Age 10.74 (3.93) 6.46 (0.93)
CA 7.3 MA CA 6.46 MA
n 15 15 Temporal bisection

Higher DL and BP in ASC

No group main effect, but group by duration main effect was reached

Small sample

No statistical comparisons of DL, BP, or WR

Age 10.16 (3.93) 6.61 (0.78)
IQ CA 6.19 MA 6.22 MA
Falter, Elliott, and Bailey [2012] n 18 19 Temporal generalization

Less temporal sensitivity in ASC

Higher consistency in the responses between different time intervals

Small sample
