Abstract
A simple technique is described for imposing E-controlled time intervals in group experiments in which some phases are paced by S. This technique involves a line-marking task under the control of a digital clock display. The display is also equipped with a random element. Fairly accurately timed intervals have been obtained with this technique in two learning experiments.
