"Six male undergraduates made time judgments in the rate projection situation with five rates and four different noise conditions. It was found that noise programs involving different levels for the stimulus and response periods lengthened the time judgments relative to those involving the same noise level. Repetition of the task also lengthened judgments. The judgment functions were similar to those in classical time judgment experiments in that shorter intervals were overestimated more than longer intervals. The results are discussed in terms of effects of acoustic noise and of psychological stress on subjective time, and the shift due to repetition is related to a similar effect on time-order errors in psychophysical experiments."--Abstract.
