The article describes the origins and development of internal clock theory.
The history is traced via body temperature studies in the 1920s and 1930s,
with input from 19th. century and early 20th. century psychophysics, through
to the landmark model of Treisman (1963). This model derived timed
behaviour from an interaction of internal clock, memory store, and comparison
processes. A successor to Treisman's model was the scalar expectancy
theory (SET) of Gibbon and colleagues (1984). The origins of SET in animal
Psychology are described, as is its application to human timing (in the early
1990s), in particular recent work on the operation of the internal clock itself.
Finally, a discussion of some recent developmental studies of timing
illustrates both how internal clock models have been applied, and how
modern research may require a reconceptualization of the operation of
classical internal clock models.
