Behavioral characteristics of time reproduction. (A) The slope of the linear regression between stimuli and reproductions – quantifying the strength of the regression effect, with values closer to 1 meaning less regression—coefficient of variation (CV), average bias, and RMSE for each animal across stimulus ranges. Values from single animals are displayed as open circles connected by lines. Gray violin plots illustrate distributions over all animals, and black solid lines mark the medians. The color indicates (s)mall, (i)ntermediate, and (l)ong stimulus ranges. The filled markers belong to the data of the animal in Figures 1D–F. Above the panels, the Pearson correlation coefficients of the parameter with the average stimulus duration and corresponding p-values are given. (B) Correlation between the square roots of the average variance and the average squared bias for the three stimulus ranges across all animals. The distance from the origin of the coordinate system is the RMSE. Crosses mark averages over animals for each range. Color code as in (A). Both values increase with range and are strongly correlated.
