TL;DR
Men scored better than women in discrimination of duration as well as in required session time in terms of the assumption of a neurotransmitter-related internal clock and with respect to sex differences in reaction time.
Abstract
In an experiment on discrimination of duration of auditory stimuli in the range of milliseconds 16 men and 16 women were tested. Men scored better than women in discrimination of duration as well as in required session time. These results were discussed in terms of the assumption of a neurotransmitter-related internal clock and with respect to sex differences in reaction time.

A broad class of up‐down methods used in psychoacoustics with due emphasis on the related problems of parameter estimation and the efficient placing of observations is described, including examples where conventional techniques are inapplicable.

The conclusion is that internal clock and memory processes can be dissociated by selectively adjusting their speed of operation and that these changes can be quantitatively modeled by a scalar timing theory.

Evidence has been cited for the following properties of the parts of the psychological process used for timing intervals: the pacemaker has a mean rate that can be varied by drugs, diet, and stress.

A decision‐theoretical model is presented, based on a “counting mechanism,” which operates on impulses generated over the relevant durations, which assumes the source of these impulses is assumed to be random.

It is concluded that age and sex are critical parameters in human psychomotor learning and performance and acquisition curves may be predicted with high accuracy by an exponential equation whose asymptote, rate, and intercept constants jointly reflect inter-individual differences and whose form remains invariant over an extended range.

Significant negative correlations between individual changes in DD and measures of reaction time under each drug condition revealed that subjects with drug-induced impairment in DD also show an increase in reaction times.

Over-all trends in the data showed women to make “better” or more accurate estimations than men under stimulus conditions which were regular, evenly organized, rhythmical, and predictable, and “poorer’ or less accurate estimation than menunder stimulus conditionsWhich were irregular, unevenly organized, and unpredictable.

Healthy controls, unmedicated, actively symptomatic schizophrenics, and similar patients undergoing treatment with either trifluoperazine, chlorpromazine, or haloperidol were studied with tests of temporal discrimination and measures of transmitted information shown previously to be sensitive to various kinds of brain dysfunction, including haloperids effects in a nonpsychotic population.

The women were more variable than men, and this sex difference was independent of sense mode and temporal standard; the significant effects were dependent upon the differential locations of the auditory and visual, social and subjective transition zones.
