Metrical temporal patterns used in the recognition task.

<p>Events are represented by crosses, beats are represented by short vertical lines, and strong beats are represented by long dashed vertical lines. Sequences were: strongly metrical acquisition (SM Acq), strongly metrical systematic (SMS), strongly metrical distracter (SMD), weakly metrical systematic (WMS), and weakly metrical distracter (WMD).</p

Parameter estimates for in Experiments 1 and 2.

<p>Probabilities range from 0 to 1. Parameters represent conscious processes (<i>c</i>; unfilled bars), unconscious processes (uc<i>-</i>; grey bars), and detection of the metrical strength (<i>m</i>; diagonally striped bars). Whiskers represent 95% confidence intervals (CI) estimated from 20,000 bootstrap samples. In Experiment 1, parameters <i>c</i> and <i>uc</i>- are considered different as the upper CI of parameter <i>c</i> (.29) does not overlap with the lower CI of parameter <i>uc</i>- (.30). In Experiment 2 parameters <i>c</i> and <i>uc</i>- are not considered different.</p
