Time and space are intimately related to each other. Previous evidence has shown that stimulus size can affect perceived duration even when size differences are illusory. In the present study, we investigated the effect of visual-spatial illusions on duration judgments in a temporal reproduction paradigm. Specifically, we induced the Ebbinghaus illusion (Exp. 1) and the horizontal-vertical illusion (Exp. 2) during the encoding phase of the target interval or the reproduction phase. The results showed (a) that illusory size affects temporal processing similarly to the way physical size does, (b) that the effect is independent of whether the illusion appeared during encoding or reproduction, and (c) that the interference between size and temporal processing is bidirectional. These results suggest a rather late locus of size-time interference in the processing stream.
时间和空间是密切相关的。先前的证据表明，即使大小差异是虚幻的，刺激大小也会影响感知到的持续时间。在本研究中，我们在时间复制范式中研究了视觉空间错觉对持续时间判断的影响。具体来说，我们在目标间隔的编码阶段或复制阶段引起艾宾浩斯错觉（实验 1）和水平垂直错觉（实验 2）。结果表明：（a）虚幻大小对时间处理的影响与物理大小的方式相似；（b）该效果独立于错觉出现在编码还是复制阶段；（c）大小和时间处理之间的干扰是双向的。这些结果表明，在处理流中，大小-时间干扰的位置相当晚。
