Exponential change-time distributions prevent listeners from exploiting timing strategies.
Evidence
The time at which the change occurred (change time ) was drawn randomly from an exponential distribution (mean: 3.2 s) limited to the interval [0, 8] s. This choice of distribution prevents subjects from developing a timing strategy, as the instantaneous probability of a change in the next time step is constant. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3285
