A new temporal illusion or the TOE once again?
Recently, Nakajima, ten Hoopen, and van der Wilk (1991) and Nakajima, ten Hoopen, Hilkhuysen, and Sasaki (1992) described what they believed to be a new illusion of auditory time perception. They reported that the perceived duration of a temporal interval was influenced by an immediately preceding or succeeding temporal interval. The influence of a neighboring temporal interval on perceived duration is not a new illusion, however, but is another demonstration of the time-order error.
