This experiment investigated temporal generalization performance in children aged 3, 5, and 8 years by using auditory stimulus durations where the standard was 0.4 s or 4.0 s, and non-standard stimuli were spaced linearly around the standard. At all ages, generalization gradients superimposed well when plotted on the same relative scale, indicating conformity to scalar timing. Whatever the standard duration used, the principal developmental changes were the increasing steepness of the generalization gradient with increasing age and a shift from symmetrical gradients, in the 3- and 5-year-olds, to adult-like asymmetrical gradients in the 8-year-olds.
本实验通过使用听觉刺激时长来研究3岁、5岁和8岁儿童的时间泛化表现，其中标准时长为0.4秒或4.0秒，非标准刺激围绕标准呈线性分布。在所有年龄段，当以相同的相对尺度绘制时，泛化梯度能很好地叠加，表明符合标量计时。无论使用何种标准时长，主要的发育变化是随着年龄增长泛化梯度变得越来越陡峭，以及从3岁和5岁儿童的对称梯度转变为8岁儿童类似成人的不对称梯度。
