1. Explain the relevance of timing with respect to behavior. Do you think that theories of timing emphasize cognitive constructs over behavioral constructs?

2. Provide 5 examples of time-dependent effects.

3. List some of the techniques for studying temporal control of behavior.

4. What is the difference between duration estimation and peak procedure? Provide an example.

5. Define scalar invariance.

6. Compare the scalar expectancy theory and behavioral theory of timing. How do they differ? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each theory?

7. What is the difference between response chain, paired associated learning and serial-representation learning? Provide an example of each.

8. Why adjunctive behavior provides a model to explain timing?

9. Define serial order performance. Give an example.

10. Describe simultaneous chain procedure. Give an example.
