Abstract

In this chapter, I discuss work on cognitive processes and timing, and review some fairly recent research on emotion and timing as well. Cognitive processes and timing have been linked in various ways in the literature. Multi-process models of timing like SET, for example, with its tripartite division into clock memory and decision processes, embed the basic timing mechanism in a more complex cognitive framework, what Treisman (2013) called the “clockwork” of the timing system, as opposed to the clock itself. The link is even more evident in recent multi-process models such as that of Taatgen, van Rijn, and Anderson (2007), where a timing mechanism is used as a “front end” to the ACT-R system (Anderson et al., 2004), which has been widely used to account for performance on many non-timing tasks.
