Heartbeat detection: judgments of the simultaneity of external stimuli and heartbeats

Brener, Jasper, Kluvitse, Cecile·1988·Psychophysiology

Abstract

After practice in judging the simultaneity of brief visual and auditory stimuli, 32 subjects were examined on a heartbeat discrimination procedure in which tones were presented at intervals of 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 ms following each R‐wave. On each of 60 trials spread over two sessions, tones presented at these intervals could be inspected as frequently and for as long as subjects wished before reaching a decision on which interval yielded stimuli that were coincident with heartbeat sensations. The group as a whole judged tones that were 200–300 ms after the R‐wave to be most contiguous with heartbeat sensations. Although some subjects showed modal preferences for the 100‐ms and 400‐ms intervals, none preferred the 0‐ms or 500‐ms intervals. During each trial subjects inspected preferred intervals more frequently and for longer than non‐preferred intervals. Although interval preferences tended to be stable over the two sessions, preferences were less variable during the second session than during the first session. Furthermore, the number of intervals examined and the duration of each interval examination decreased significantly from Session 1 to Session 2 indicating the development of recognition criteria for heartbeat‐coincident tones.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Individuals perceive heartbeats at different locations within the body, each associated with a different temporal delay.

    “This problem is exacerbated by the fact that individuals perceive heartbeats at different locations within the body, each of which is associated with a different temporal delay (Brener and Kluvitse, 1988; Christopher Ring and Brener, 1992).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
