Working in the University of Alberta, Chaston devised a test that required subjects to find specific items in various images. However, before the
subjects started the test, they were told that once they had completed it they would be asked
to estimate how much time had
passed during their test.
There were seven levels of
difficulty among the tests. In some cases, the items were easy
to find because they were of different colors. In the more difficult tests, the items were placed among many similar looking items, or they didn’t even exist in the image. “The
harder the search tasks were, the smaller the estimates became,” said Chaston.
There are two kinds of time estimations, Chaston added, and
D. worsen

prospective estimates. Most of us wear watches, and we’re
pretty good at keeping track of
the time because we have to for
most of our regular, daily lives.” For this reason, Chaston is pleased that the results of his study showed such a powerful effect of attention on prospective time estimates.
“This really shows that even if
you know in advance that you’re going to have to estimate the time of a task, the more attention the task requires, the faster time flies.”
