Abstract
The interaction of space and time affects perception of extents: (1) the longer the exposure duration, the longer the line length is perceived and vice versa; (2) the shorter the line length is, the shorter the exposure duration is perceived. Previous studies have shown that space-time interactions in human vision are asymmetrical; spatial cognition has a larger effect on temporal cognition rather than vice versa (Merritt et al.,

). What makes the interactions asymmetrical? In this study, participants were asked to judge exposure duration of lines that differed in length or to judge the lengths of the lines with different exposure time; to judge the task-relevant stimulus extents that also varied in the task-irrelevant stimulus extents. Paired spatial and temporal tasks in which the ranges of task-relevant and -irrelevant stimulus values were common, were conducted. In our hypothesis, the imbalance in saliency of spatial and temporal information would cause asymmetrical space-time interaction. To assess the saliency, task difficulty was rated. If saliency of relevant stimuli is high, the difficulty of discrimination task would be low, and vice versa. The saliency of irrelevant stimuli in one task would be reflected in the difficulty of the other task, in the pair of tasks. If saliency of irrelevant stimuli is high, the difficulty of paired task would be low, and vice versa. The result supports our hypothesis; spatial cognition asymmetrically affected on temporal cognition when the difficulty of temporal task was significantly higher than that of spatial task.</p>

<p>When people imagine that they are spending their time in a small room model, like a doll's house, they tends to feel the time shorter in a smaller room model compared to the estimated time in a larger room model (DeLong, <xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">1981</xref>
; Mitchell and Davis, <xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">1987</xref>
). Spatial extents of room model can alter subjective time. It is also known that more time was required to scan across mental images with greater distances, and to scan subjectively larger images (Mental Scanning; Kosslyn, <xref rid="B8" ref-type="bibr">1973</xref>
; Kosslyn et al., <xref rid="B9" ref-type="bibr">1978</xref>
). These are examples that show interactions between spatial and temporal cognition.</p>
<p>There are also cognitive interactions between number and space dimensions. In a numerosity discrimination task to compare two numbers, participants can react more rapidly when numerical and spatial extents are congruent, high digit with large size and low digit with small size, than when they are incongruent, high digit with small size and low digit with large size (Henik and Tzelgov, <xref rid="B5" ref-type="bibr">1982</xref>
). Many other cognitive interactions, like above, among three different dimensions (space, time and number), has been reported (e.g., Vicario, <xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">2011</xref>
; Javadi and Aichelburg, <xref rid="B6" ref-type="bibr">2012</xref>
). Accordingly, common mechanisms to process magnitude information of space, time and number has been suggested (a theory of magnitude; ATOM, Walsh, <xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>
).</p>
<p>The research topic of this study is on the cognitive interactions between space and time dimensions: (1) the longer the exposure duration is, the longer the line length tends to be judged and vice versa; (2) the shorter the line length is, the shorter the exposure duration tends to be judged and vice versa. Previous studies have repeatedly shown asymmetrical space-time interactions in vision of human adults; spatial cognition has a larger effect on temporal cognition rather than vice versa (Casasanto and Boroditsky, <xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>
; Merritt et al., <xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
). However, such interactions in monkeys have been shown to be symmetrical (Merritt et al., <xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
). In addition, space-time interactions in vision of human infants might be symmetrical. In 9-month-age infants, learning could be transferred among the three dimensions of time, space and number in vision, equally in each direction (Lourenco and Longo, <xref rid="B10" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
): learning of an arbitrary combination in one dimension, such as a stripe pattern of visual stimuli associated with a short exposure duration, can be transferred to the other dimension in every direction to a similar extent. Then, what is the difference between human adults and monkeys? How does the balance between space-time interactions in vision of human adults differ from that of infants? Trying to answer these questions is important for better understandings of spatial and temporal cognitions, the cognitive interaction and the development. The present study approaches to the specific question; what makes the interactions asymmetrical in vision of human adults?</p>
<p>As mentioned above, previous works have shown asymmetrical space-time interactions in vision of human adults; spatial cognition affects time cognition more than vice versa in discrimination tasks (Casasanto and Boroditsky, <xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2008</xref>
; Merritt et al., <xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
). One problem is that the balance of spatial and temporal information in the experimental stimuli has not been considered much. Therefore, in vision of human adults, the saliencies of spatial and temporal information might be one of the factors that make space-time interactions asymmetrical.</p>
<p>Many studies on cross-modal audiovisual interaction have shown the predominance of vision over audition (e.g., Thurlow and Jack, <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">1973</xref>
; Kitagawa and Ichihara, <xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">2002</xref>
). However, when the ambiguity of visual information is high and the saliency of auditory information is high, auditory information could affect visual perception was presented later (Shimojo et al., <xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">2001</xref>
; Vroomen et al., <xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">2004</xref>
). A similar phenomenon has been found in the space-time cognitions, the saliency of stimuli should affect the balance between the space-time interactions.</p>
<p>Cai and Connell (<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">2015</xref>
) showed that time cognition can asymmetrically affect space cognition: spatial information from haptic perception can be affected by temporal information from audition but not vice versa. However, when spatial information from vision was added, space-time cognitions affect each other to a similar extent. According to them, the balance of space-time interaction could be affected by the perceptual acuity of the modality to perceive spatial information. The results indicated that the saliency of stimuli could affect the balance of space-time interaction in multi-modal perception.</p>
<p>Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of saliencies of spatial and temporal information in space-time interactions in vision. We conducted an experiment in which the tasks to discriminate exposure durations or line lengths. In order to assess space-time interactions, we adapted the method of Merritt et al. (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
); line lengths were varied during duration judgments, and durations for presenting line stimuli were also varied during judgments of line lengths, and the method of Droit-Volet and Zélanti (<xref rid="B4" ref-type="bibr">2013</xref>
); anchor stimuli, longest and shortest stimuli, were presented several times before an anchor training section. Task difficulty was rated to assess saliencies of spatial and temporal information. In a simple discrimination task, when the saliency of relevant stimuli is low, the automaticity in cognitive processes, such as discrimination, could be low, and thus the task difficulty could be high. Our hypothesis was that asymmetrical space-time interaction is caused by the imbalance in saliency of the spatial and temporal information, and the imbalance in difficulties in the spatial and temporal tasks (see Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>
). In order to see the effect of saliency on the extent of interaction, two sets of paired spatial and temporal tasks that would be differed in the balance of difficulty (the pair that one task was more difficult than the other task, and the pair that two tasks were both difficult to the similar extent) were conducted. In each pair, the ranges of stimulus values were same; the shortest and the longest relevant stimuli in one task were same extents as the shortest and the longest irrelevant stimuli in the other task, in a pair. Thus, the difficulty of paired task would indicate the saliency of the irrelevant stimuli.</p>
<fig id="F1" position="float"><label>Figure 1</label>
<caption><p><bold>Balance of saliency, task difficulty, and spatial/temporal interaction</bold>
. In our hypothesis, asymmetrical space-time interaction is caused by the imbalance in saliency of the spatial and temporal information, and the imbalance in difficulties in the spatial and temporal tasks. When the saliency of relevant stimuli is high, the automaticity in cognitive processes, such as discrimination, could be high, and thus the task difficulty could be low; and vice versa. The saliency of irrelevant stimuli in one task would be reflected in the difficulty of the other task, in the pair of spatial/temporal tasks. If saliency of irrelevant stimuli is high, the difficulty of paired task would be low, and vice versa. When space cognition asymmetrically affects time cognition, saliency of spatial information would be high and/or saliency of temporal information would be low.</p>

<sec><title>Participants</title>
<p>Twenty four adults (12 males, mean age: 23.13 years, <italic>SD</italic>
= 3.13) performed four tasks; two line length judgment tasks and two duration judgment tasks. All the participants had normal or corrected-to-normal vision. They were paid for the time by the standard of Kyoto University. The experiments were conducted in conformity to the standards of ethical review committee in Kyoto University. Through ethical considerations, before the experiments, the content of the experiment and the rights of participants were explained, and the participants were asked to sign with agreement documents if they understood and agreed to participate in the experiment.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Stimuli</title>
<p>Rainbow colored line stimuli were presented against a gray background (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>
). Similar experiments were planned for children, and the stimuli were colored in order to attract their attentions. The width of line stimuli was varied within the range of 140–170 pixels, and the exposure duration was varied within the range of 400–800 ms, or 1000–2000 ms. To make the balance of task difficulties different in two pairs of duration and line length judgment tasks, the exposure duration was varied within the above two ranges. In the line length judgment tasks, seven different widths of line stimuli were presented for three different durations. In the duration judgment task, three different widths of line stimuli were presented for seven different durations. The stimulus extents of relevant dimension had seven levels and that of irrelevant dimension had three levels. In each task, there were 21 stimulus presentation patterns (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3</xref>
). The line stimuli were presented on a 13-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels.</p>
<fig id="F2" position="float"><label>Figure 2</label>

. The upper line was a short anchor stimuli (width: 140 pixels) and the downer line was a long anchor stimuli (width: 170 pixels) in line length judgment tasks. These were also used in duration judgment tasks. The heights of all line stimuli were 9 pixels.</p>

<sec><title>Procedure</title>
<p>The tasks varied in relevant dimensions for discrimination (line length or duration), and also varied in the range of exposure durations. There were therefore four conditions that were conducted in separate blocks: <italic>Duration 400–800 ms, Line Length 400–800 ms, Duration 1000–2000 ms, Line Length 1000–2000 ms</italic>
. Half of the participants completed two line length judgment tasks ahead and two duration judgment tasks later, and the other half completed two duration judgment tasks ahead and two length judgment tasks later (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4</xref>
). The order of the two blocks for each task was counter-balanced. Task difficulty was rated after each two blocks ended, in five levels from one to five (1, easy; 2, a bit easy; 3, neither easy nor difficult; 4, a bit difficult; 5, difficult).</p>

<p>At the beginning of the experiments, participants were instructed to keep the same posture and the same position with a constant distance (varied across participants between 30 and 40 cm) from the monitor, to see all stimuli in the same way during tasks. Each task block consisted of three phases that were anchor training, bisection testing and cross-dimensional testing (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">5</xref>
). For duration judgment tasks, the participants were asked not to count, and for duration and line length judgment tasks, they were asked to think anything as much as possible, during the stimulus presentations. The experiments were controlled by a PC with E-prime software (Psychology Software Tools, Inc., USA).</p>

<sec><title>Duration judgement task</title>
<p>Participants were initially presented with 155 pixel width of line stimuli that were shortest and longest in exposure durations (anchor stimuli; 400 and 800 ms in <italic>Duration 400–800 ms</italic>
; 1000 and 2000 ms in <italic>Duration 1000–2000 ms</italic>
; see Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3</xref>
) three times each in alternation, and were asked to remember them as the standard for later duration judgments. Before the presentation of the anchor stimuli started, the fixation cross was presented for 1000 ms. The interstimulus interval (ISI) of the anchor stimuli was fixed at 500 ms.</p>
<sec><title>Anchor training</title>
<p>The participants were trained to judge short or long of exposure durations for the anchor stimuli that was presented once in each trial without any reference stimulus. The stimuli appeared following the fixation cross presented for 1000 ms. Immediately after the disappearance of the stimuli, the participants were asked to respond by pressing one of the two keys (“f” for short and “j” for long).</p>
<p>A visual feedback was given after each response: a red circle for a correct answer and a blue x-mark for a wrong answer. The feedback remained on the screen for 500 ms. In this phase, stimulus value of the irrelevant dimension, the length of line, was fixed at the Middle level (mean; 155 pixel width). There were 20 test trials that were separated into two trial blocks; the short and long anchor stimuli were randomly presented for five times, respectively in one block.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Bisection testing</title>
<p>The procedure was similar to the anchor training except that the exposure duration of stimuli was varied in seven levels (two anchor and five intermediate levels). The stimuli that have seven different exposure durations were presented in a random order. The number of presentations was differed depending on whether the stimulus was anchor or intermediate levels. In one trial block, the short and long anchor stimuli were presented for three times, and the five intermediate stimuli were presented for once. There were two blocks and 22 trials in total, and participants could take a rest between the blocks. The extent of the irrelevant dimension, line length, was fixed at the Middle level (155 pixel width). The flow of trials was the same as in the anchor training phase. There was a negative/positive feedback only for the anchor stimuli.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Cross-dimensional testing</title>
<p>The procedure was basically the same as the bisection testing. The exposure duration, the extent of the relevant dimension, was varied in seven levels. The line length, the extent of the irrelevant dimension, was varied in three levels: Short, Middle and Long. In one trial block, each anchor stimulus was presented for three times and each intermediate stimulus was presented once for each level of irrelevant dimension in a random order. There were two blocks of 33 trials in the cross-dimensional testing, and rests were available between blocks. A negative/positive feedback was given only after the anchor stimuli as in bisection testing.</p>
</sec>
</sec>
<sec><title>Line length judgement task</title>
<p>The procedure was basically the same as duration judgment task. The relevant and irrelevant dimensions were interchanged. The “short” and the “long” length of line stimuli (anchor stimuli; 140 pixel and 170 pixel widths; see Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3</xref>
) were initially presented three times each in alternation, and participants were asked to remember them as the standard for later line length judgments.</p>
<sec><title>Anchor training</title>
<p>The participants were trained to judge short or long of the width for anchor stimuli. A visual feedback was given after each response. In this phase, stimulus values of the irrelevant dimension, the exposure durations, were fixed at the Middle levels (mean; 600 ms in <italic>Duration 400–800 ms</italic>

<p>Before the later analyses, the data of responses that took longer than 4000 ms were excluded as outliers. In trials which reaction time was longer than 4000 ms, the participants might not have concentrated on the stimuli or the task. The data of participants, who did not reach the criteria to judge the anchor stimuli correctly more than 80% in the last 10 trials of anchor training session, were also excluded. Two participants were excluded in <italic>Duration 400–800 ms</italic>

<p>To assess how saliency of irrelevant stimulus extents would affect on the discrimination of relevant stimuli, the results of combined two tasks <italic>(Duration 400–800 ms</italic>

<sec sec-type="discussion" id="s4"><title>Discussion</title>
<p>The results of this study supported the hypothesis: asymmetrical space-time interaction is supposed to be caused by the imbalance in saliency of the spatial and temporal information, and difficulties in the spatial and temporal tasks, given the different pattern of results of combined two tasks (<italic>Duration/Line Length 400–800 ms</italic>
, and <italic>Duration/Line Length 1000–2000 ms</italic>
) in task difficulties and effects from the irrelevant dimension on relevant dimension.</p>
<p>According to the results of a mixed-effects logistic regression, the effect of the irrelevant dimension was the largest in <italic>Duration 400–800 ms</italic>
that was the most difficult, and the rating was significantly higher than that of <italic>Line Length 400–800 ms</italic>
. On the other hand, the difficulties of <italic>Duration 1000–2000 ms</italic>
and <italic>Line Length 1000–2000 ms</italic>
were similar. In this case, the effect of the irrelevant dimension on the judgment was not observed. These results can be interpreted as that the balance of difficulty between spatial-temporal cognitive tasks would affect the balance of cognitive interaction.</p>
<p>In discrimination tasks of this study, as already mentioned, when the task difficulty is high, the saliency of relevant stimuli would be low, and vice versa. In the sets of paired spatial and temporal tasks (<italic>Duration/Line Length 400–800 ms, Duration/Line Length 1000–2000 ms</italic>
), the ranges of stimulus values were common, therefore the saliency of irrelevant stimuli would be high, when the difficulty of paired task is easy, and vice versa.</p>
<p>In <italic>Duration 400–800 ms</italic>
, the task difficulty was high but the difficulty of paired task, <italic>Line Length 400–800 ms</italic>
was low, thus the saliency of relevant stimuli was low but the saliency of irrelevant stimuli was high, so that the effect of irrelevant stimuli on the discrimination was statistically significant. In other tasks, the saliency of irrelevant stimuli would not be high enough to affect on the discrimination significantly.</p>
<p>There was a significant difference in reaction time between the spatial and the temporal cognitive tasks. The reaction time of duration judgment was significantly longer than that of line length judgment. This difference in reaction time might reflect the imbalance of stimulus saliency between visual space-time cognitions, as discussed above for the asymmetrical interactions. The processes and/or representations of spatial and temporal information might be partially common or similar (ATOM: Walsh, <xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">2003</xref>
), although fundamental differences might exist between spatial and temporal cognitions with vision. Such differences may be reflected in reaction time; reaction time of temporal cognitive tasks was longer than that of spatial cognitive tasks, even in the bisection testing in which the irrelevant stimulus extent was fixed at the Middle level, and even though when the task difficulties were similar. The saliency of visual spatial information (the line length extents) would tend to be higher than the saliency of visual temporal information, therefore the automaticity of line length discrimination would tend to be higher than that of duration discrimination via visual perception.</p>
<p>Human adults have well-developed visual perception, and vision dominates over other modalities such as audition, in many cases, in the process to integrate information from several modalities especially in spatial cognition, such as the ventriloquism effect (Thurlow and Jack, <xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">1973</xref>
). However, in time perception, visual information can be affected by auditory information. It can be seen in temporal ventriloquism and visual illusions by audition, the phenomenon that the number or timing of flashes can be differently perceived from actual vision, which is caused by hearing sounds (Shimojo et al., <xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">2001</xref>
; Vroomen et al., <xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">2004</xref>
). In human adults, spatial information via vision tends to be more precise compared to that via audition, and thus vision has predominance over audition in cross-modal spatial cognition. In contrast, the saliency of visual temporal information is low so that audition dominates over vision in cross-modal temporal cognition, in many cases.</p>
<p>In integration of cross-modal information, information with higher saliency would have the predominance over that with lower saliency. As well as in cross-modal perception, in space-time interaction, spatial information affects time information more than vise versa, due to the balance of saliency, in vision of human adults. Such a common hypothesis on integration in cross-modal and cross-dimensional cognitions is supposed to be plausible in terms of ecological validity. Such biases in integration would make the information integration more efficient. In addition, this hypothesis can approach a remaining question: what is the difference between human adults and monkeys? In monkeys, saliency of spatial information from vision might not be so high, or saliency of temporal information from vision might not be so low compared to human adults, or both. Therefore, spatial and temporal information in vision would be reliable to the same degree, which may have led to the symmetrical interaction between spatial and temporal cognition in vision of monkeys, as found in Merritt et al. (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">2010</xref>
).</p>
<p>It remains unknown whether it is possible to make the balance between spatial-temporal cognitive interactions in vision reversed: the interaction from time to space is larger than vice versa. Cai and Connell (<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">2015</xref>
) have proved that the balance of space-time interaction in multi-modal perception can be reversed. So such a reversal in space-time interaction in vision could happen, if the saliency of temporal information becomes higher than that of spatial information. It is still open to the future studies to elaborate the way to assess saliency. In the present study, the task difficulty rating was considered as a related variable to the saliency of judged stimuli, but there could be other ways. It would be better to consider reaction time and other factors such as discrimination sensitivity comprehensively, as well as task difficulty.</p>
