Timing measures were obtained from subjects instructed to tap a Morse key in synchrony with a metronome which marked a timing pattern consisting of alternating blocks of intervals of imperceptibly different duration. "Synchronization strategies", which consisted of computer-simulated sets of rules, or algorithms, hypothesized to be the basis of synchronization behavior, were used to simulate tapping sequences in response to the same metronome sequences. The human and computer-simulated synchronization data were analyzed identically and compared to determine which of the postulated strategies could explain the observed human tapping behavior. The strategies generating timing data statistically indistinguishable from the human data involve a pattern of human-metronome interaction, and a corresponding transfer of information, more complex and subtle than previous investigations had implied.
计时测量是从按照指示与节拍器同步敲击莫尔斯电键的受试者那里获得的，节拍器标记了一种计时模式，该模式由持续时间难以察觉地不同的交替间隔块组成。“同步策略”由计算机模拟的规则集或算法组成，被假定为同步行为的基础，用于模拟对相同节拍器序列的敲击序列。对人类和计算机模拟的同步数据进行相同的分析并进行比较，以确定哪些假定的策略可以解释观察到的人类敲击行为。生成与人类数据在统计上无法区分的计时数据的策略涉及一种人类与节拍器交互的模式，以及相应的信息传递，这种模式比以前的研究所暗示的更为复杂和微妙。
