Abstrakt: Time duration estimates can play an intricate part of one’s daily life. This study examined the time duration judgments in two paradigms, when participants were aware they were being timed (prospective) and when they were unaware they were being timed (retrospective). Furthermore, this study investigated the effect of an external stimulus, when an auditory stimulus was used, to determine if an external stimulus might mediate any time distortions that occur in the two paradigms. For this between-subject, fully factorial experiment, 60 participants were engaged in a simulation and placed in one of four temporal judgment conditions. This study examined both the accuracy of the time duration judgment and the performance of the primary simulation task. The only significance finding for this study showed the importance of how a simple auditory distraction has the ability to increases the time duration judgments recalled after performing a task.
