Abstract
Two experiments studied the effects of movement of visual patterns and visual stimulus change without movement upon judged duration. A horizontally moving grating pattern was judged longer than the same stationary pattern. Similarly, a stationary flickering light was judged longer than a stationary steady light. In visual processing of temporal magnitude information, stimulus change appears to represent a basic factor. Stimulus change produces longer judged duration.
