Timing & Time Perception Special Issue on the “The Golden Anniversary
of Timing: The Internal Clock Model”

Hosted by John Wearden & Argiro Vatakis

The year of 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of
Michel Treisman’s classic paper – Temporal discrimination and the
indifference interval. Implications for a model of the “internal
clock”. Psychological Monographs: General and Applied, 77(13), 1963,
1-31. By positing an “internal clock” based on a pacemaker, counter,
store, and comparator this paper provided a foundation for the study
of timing and time perception, which led to the subsequent development
and expression of scalar timing theory as an information-processing
model (Gibbon, Church, and Meck, 1984). The journal of Timing & Time
Perception celebrates this anniversary through a special issue devoted
to one of the most popular approaches to understanding time perception
– the “internal clock”. This special issue aims to cover historically
the precursors of the internal clock (e.g., Alderson, 1974; Bell,
1966; Francois, 1927; Hoagland, 1933, 1935), the development of
Treisman’s 1963 model, and current research directions and experiments
conducted using the “internal clock” as a guiding principle in the
understanding of timing and time perception in humans and other
animals.
