Cognitive Correlates of Polychronicity
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979Polychronicity, defined as the ability to cope with stimulus-intense, information-overloaded environments, was operationalized as a 25-item scale assessing the reported degree to which individuals structure their physical and interpersonal environments within the context of time and space. The validity of the construct of polychronicity was assessed by

Time management and polychronicity
Journal of Managerial Psychology, 1999The goals of this investigation are to identify behaviors and attitudes that are predictive of an individual’s polychronic or monochronic time use, relating these findings to individuals’ time management approaches. A modified polychronic attitude indicator (PAI3) scale is used as the overall measure of monochronic/polychronic tendencies.

Polychronicity and Multitasking: A Diary Study at Work
Human Performance, 2015Polychronicity and multitasking have been described as being indispensible in work today because they enable people to use their time flexibly and effectively. We conducted a diary study among 93 employees during the mornings and evenings of 5 consecutive workdays (n = 418 observations).

Understanding Monochronic and Polychronic Individuals in the Workplace
Clinical Nurse Specialist, 1994Patterning of time is a frequently ignored aspect of human behavior. Individuals handle time durations differently. Responses to time durations were first outlined in the classic work of Hall (in 1959) and include urgency, activity, variety, and whether multiple or isolated tasks are attempted in the same time duration.

Journal of Managerial Psychology, 1999
As competitive pressures mount, firms are attempting to do more with less – and far more quickly. They are downsizing, using teams, and pushing the time to market. These trends promote polychronic behavior in that they require additional variety in the tasks, activities, and roles that individuals must handle simultaneously.

Journal of Organizational Behavior, 1999
This research hypothesizes that greater congruence between preferred polychronicity (the extent to which an individual prefers to be involved with several tasks simultaneously) and experienced work-unit polychronicity (the polychronic behaviors and preferences of the supervisor and co-workers) will be associated with higher levels of (1) three ...

The Polychronic—Monochronic Tendency Model
Time & Society, 2007Polychronicity has traditionally been defined as a form of behavior wherein a person engages in two or more activities during the same block of time, while monochronicity occurs when a person engages in one activity at a time. These concepts have become increasingly relevant in discussions of `time personality', worktime in the home, and technological ...

Encoding real values into polychronous spiking networks
The 2010 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), 2010Spiking neural networks show promising capability in handling the same kind of scaling up of problems as living brains, due to their more faithful similarity to biological neural networks. The big challenge of dealing with spiking neural networks is getting data into and out of them, which requires proper encoding and decoding methods.
