TL;DR: In this paper , the role of the number of standard example durations presented on performance on three timing tasks: rhythm continuation, deviance detection, and final stimulus duration judgment was investigated.
Abstract: More experience results in better performance, usually. In most tasks, the more chances to learn we have, the better we are at it. This does not always appear to be the case in time perception however. In the current article, we use three different methods to investigate the role of the number of standard example durations presented on performance on three timing tasks: rhythm continuation, deviance detection, and final stimulus duration judgment. In Experiments 1a and 1b, rhythms were produced with the same accuracy whether one, two, three or four examples of the critical duration were presented. In Experiment 2, participants were required to judge which of four stimuli had a different duration from the other three. This judgement did not depend on which of the four stimuli was the deviant one. In Experiments 3a and 3b, participants were just as accurate at judging the duration of a final stimulus in comparison to the prior stimuli regardless of the number of standards presented prior to the final stimulus. In summary, we never found any systematic effect of the number of standards presented on performance on any of the three timing tasks. In the discussion, we briefly relate these findings to three theories of time perception.

TL;DR: The auditory modality dominated multimodal perception in the task, whereas the visual modality was disregarded and hence did not add to reproduction performance.
Abstract: It is commonly agreed that vision is more sensitive to spatial information, while audition is more sensitive to temporal information. When both visual and auditory information are available simultaneously, the modality appropriateness hypothesis predicts that, depending on the task, the most appropriate (i.e., reliable) modality dominates perception. While previous research mainly focused on discrepant information from different sensory inputs to scrutinize the modality appropriateness hypothesis, the current study aimed at investigating the modality appropriateness hypothesis when multimodal information was provided in a nondiscrepant and simultaneous manner. To this end, participants performed a temporal rhythm reproduction task for which the auditory modality is known to be the most appropriate. The experiment comprised an auditory (i.e., beeps), a visual (i.e., flashing dots), and an audiovisual condition (i.e., beeps and dots simultaneously). Moreover, constant as well as variable interstimulus intervals were implemented. Results revealed higher accuracy and lower variability in the auditory condition for both interstimulus interval types when compared to the visual condition. More importantly, there were no differences between the auditory and the audiovisual condition across both interstimulus interval types. This indicates that the auditory modality dominated multimodal perception in the task, whereas the visual modality was disregarded and hence did not add to reproduction performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between income and place of residence of Estonians and Russians with their time perception and found that Russians underestimated time durations 6% more than Estonians.
Abstract: Current study examined relationships between income and place of residence of Estonians and Russians with their time perception. It was analyzed the data of 2227 residents of Estonia (1628 Estonians and 599 Russians ages 15 through 74 years, 972 men and 1255 women). Participants were interviewed with CAPI method (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing) and completed Time Production Task (TPT). As a result, reported before tendency of Russians to underproduce time intervals more than Estonians (Maar, 2013) was confirmed. Russians underestimated time durations 6% more than Estonians. However, hypotheses that difference in time perception of Estonians and Russians associated with income and place of residence didn’t find it`s confirmation.
