READ FIRST - What is an EWOK ? General intro and overview Def. of temporal processing Temporal "g" (general intelligence) Timescales of temporal processing Two timing circuits Temporal tracking (UK) - Stankov Rhythm perception and production Sensorimotor timing/synchronization Event vs emergent timing of repetitive movements Musical performance and perception Meter Groove Features/characteristics Factor structure Music ability and Ga Tempo Spontaneous motor tempo Natural "preferred" tempo Types of tasks "Synchronized" (tapping) tasks Rate limits of tapping synchronization Synchronized movements to metronome Wing-Kristofferson two-level model Sensitivity to tempo changes Polyrhythm perception Hearing and Pitch interval perception "Continuation" (no tapping) tasks Detection of rhythmic sequences Rammsayer's temporal g tasks Theoretical rhythm models Resonance model for temporal selectivity - "harmonic oscillator" Interval or duration discrimination processing Type of tasks Estimation Temporal duration discrimination Temporal assimilation Temporal generalization Executive functions (EF) Time-based prospective memory Time monitoring tasks Reproduction Production Intermodal tasks Mental timing theoretical models Universal "centralized" internal clock models Scalar Expectancy Theory Weber's Law Oscillator models Oscillator-phase models Multiple oscillator models Wing-Kristofferson two-level model Reference memory Distributed network or state-dependent ("emergent?" models Cortical models Cerebellar models Spectral models Some theoretical and conceptual issues "Reset" problem Attention Interference effect General overview of "attention networks" Executive attention Domain general intervention SAS - Sluggish Attention Shifting Traditional psychometrically-based theory and research Tonal memory ?
