Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the interactive effect of working memory and task duration on time perception. Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental. The population of this research was school students, university students and personnel of organizations of Kerman city in 2018 and among them, 300 persons were selected by available sampling method. The time reproduction task of Shahabifar and Movahedinia (2016) was used for obtaining data. Data were analyzed by paired samples t-test and two factor analysis of variance with repeated measures. Findings: The results showed that the main effect of working memory and task duration and interactive effect of these variables on time perception was significant (p<0.01). Working memory and increase of the task duration affect time perception respectively in the form of decreasing and increasing the amount of time reproduction error. Conclusion: Time perception decays significantly with increasing length of time intervals and working memory load.
