Interval timing in the seconds‐to‐minutes range is believed to underlie a variety of complex
behaviors in humans and other animals. One of the more interesting problems in interval …

In the last decades, researchers have proposed a large number of theoretical models of
timing. These models make different assumptions concerning how animals learn to time …

Interdisciplinary perspectives on the feature of conscious life that scaffolds every act of

Weber's law–constancy of the coefficient of variation–is an apparently ubiquitous feature of
time perception, and forms the foundation of several theories of timing. We sought evidence …

Theoretical models of foraging are based on the maximization of food intake rate.
Remarkably, foragers often hew close to the predictions of rate maximization, except for a …

Three experiments with pigeons are reported in which the scalar property in simultaneous
timing tasks was studied. According to scalar expectancy theory, the scalar property should …

Pigeons partitioned time into three intervals. Responses to one key could be reinforced after
a short time, to a second key after an intermediate time, and to a third key after a long time …

Impulsiveness is a significant clinical problem associated with a variety of psychiatric and
neuropsychiatric disorders. Clinical and experimental studies have provided evidence that …

The article discusses two important influences of BF Skinner, and later workers in the
behavior‐analytic tradition, on the study of animal timing. The first influence is …
