Abstract: In this research we direcdy tested the hypothesis of hierarchical network model oftemporal memory by means of categorical material by which tempoal chunks can beformed from the distinct clusters. Throughout the test we adopted RT and correctrate to judge temporal succession, and reproduction and cral estimation to estimatetempotal duration. The results indicated that not only there existod hierarchicalnetwork somewhat with the characterishcs of temporal information memory, but therealso existed some of linear construction.

Key words: temporal information, temporal chunk, hierarchical network model
