Therefore, we conducted a preliminary study to extract the characteristics of time estimation in patients with schizophrenia.

We compared the results between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls using t-tests. Results Thirty-four people participated in each group. T-tests showed significantly shorter length of time answers in the schizophrenia group for question 4, (“How long does it take you to go out after waking up in the morning?”). For question 5 (“When you have to take a bus, how long before departure time do you arrive at the bus stop?”) and question 6 (“You have an appointment with your friend.
