The relationship between rhythmic reproduction of four stimulus frequencies (44, 80, 126, 200 beats a minute), chosen time, and arousal was studied with 32 subjects of both sexes. The following findings emerged: at the frequency of 44, the group is divided into equal numbers of subjects who either accelerate or slow down; a frequency of 80 induces a general slowing down and a frequency of 200 a general acceleration. Also, the maximum absolute error occurred at a frequency of 200 and the minimum, at the frequency of 80. With regard to chosen time, subjects who tended to accelerate showed a tendency to choose faster rhythms. With regard to level of arousal, the highest frequency was associated with a faster reproduction during relaxed wakefulness and a slower reproduction at the higher and lower activation levels; a state of reduced alertness also produced slowing down at a frequency of 126 and a state of relaxed wakefulness, an acceleration at a frequency of 44.
对32名男女受试者进行了研究，以探讨四种刺激频率（每分钟44、80、126、200次搏动）的节律再现、选定时间与唤醒之间的关系。得出以下结果：在44次/分钟的频率下，该组被分为加速和减速人数相等的两组；80次/分钟的频率会导致整体减速，而200次/分钟的频率会导致整体加速。此外，最大绝对误差出现在200次/分钟的频率，最小绝对误差出现在80次/分钟的频率。关于选定时间，倾向于加速的受试者倾向于选择更快的节奏。关于唤醒水平，最高频率与放松清醒状态下更快的再现相关，而在较高和较低激活水平下则与较慢的再现相关；警觉性降低的状态在126次/分钟的频率下也会导致减速，而放松清醒状态在44次/分钟的频率下会导致加速。
