Introduction. The basic goals of the study were to analyze how patients receiving intravenous anaesthesia for endoscopy produce one-minute time intervals after anaesthesia, and to characterize the relationship between attitude towards time and the production of one-minute intervals. Material and methods. Twenty four intravenously anesthetized patients constituted the Anaesthesia Group and 25 nonanesthetized patients formed the Control Group. The Mini-Mental State Examination and the Sense of Coherence Meaningfulness Subscale were used to recognize the problem of dementia and depression, the Time Metaphors Questionnaire was used for the assessment attitudes toward time. Time production of one-minute was measured three times in each of four sessions. Results. The tested participants of both groups shortened the one-minute intervals. Duration of anaesthesia did not affect the time production. Perceiving time as empty and meaningless was related with misestimating time after colonoscopy. Conclusions. Time interpretation by using metaphors and time production are related with each other.

Abstract Background Mastering the fundamentals of infectious diseases (ID) requires students to memorize large volumes of material about pathogens, antibiotics, patients, and the interactions between the three. It is hypothesized that there is a positive relationship between time on task and engagement. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between enjoyment of a serious game and the estimated time spent playing. Methods During a one-time session, students from two colleges of pharmacy engaged in three ID game-based active learning strategies each lasting a pre-specified time. These strategies included a card game about calculations (Fightin Figures, FF), a quiz game about antibiotic fundamentals (Rapid Rounds, RR), and a board game using NAPLEX practice examination questions (Pills and Placebos, PP). Students completed a survey for each game assessing enjoyment and estimated time spent playing each game. Results Eighty-four students participated. Demographics of the sample include female 53%, mean age 26.7 years, and mean GPA 3.6. Using a Likert scale from 1–10 (1 = not enjoyable, 10 = very enjoyable) student rated each game: FF 6.5 ± 2.2, RR 7.2 ± 2.3, PP 8.4 ± 1.8. The time estimation ratio, calculated by dividing the estimated time by the actual time for each game was 0.9 ± 0.5 for FF, 1.5 ± 0.6 for RR, and 1.0 ± 04 for PP. The percentage of students who underestimated time spent playing was 57% for FF, 8% for RR, and 41% for PP. There were no differences in time estimation ratio based on sex, age, or GPA. Conclusion Although a small study, there was no trend toward association of time underestimation and enjoyment of these teaching methods. Students enjoyed the board game PP the most yet the time estimation ratio was 1.0, indicating estimated and actual time on task were the same. Students enjoyed FF the least but this was the only game they underestimated time spent on task. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Cognitive Tempo

The relationship between cognitive tempo and time estimation by young boys is investigated. Emphasis is on clarifying the physiological vs learned etiology of cognitive tempo on the assumption that a predilection to cortical excitation or inhibition can be indicated through time estimation. Significant differences between 20 impulsive and 20 reflective boys (aged 8–0 to 8–11) on estimates of reproduction time and a high correlation (−.49) between impulsive boys' response times and estimates of reproduction time were noted.

Accurate time estimation is crucial for many human activities and necessitates the use of working memory, in which the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) plays a critical role. We tested the hypothesis that the DLPFC is activated in participants attempting time estimations that require working memory. Specifically, we used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate prefrontal cortical activity in the brains of individuals performing a prospective time production task. We measured cerebral hemodynamic responses in 26 healthy right-handed university students while they marked the passage of specified time intervals (3, 6, 9, 12, or 15 s) or performed a button-pressing (control) task. The behavioral results indicated that participants’ time estimations were accurate with minimal variability. The fNIRS data showed that activity was significantly higher in the right DLPFC during the time estimation task compared to the control task. Theoretical considerations and the results of this study suggest that DLPFC activation resulting from time estimation indicates that the working memory system is in use.

The Relationship

Following the theoretical model originally proposed by Hogan (1978), this study tests the existence of a “U”-relationship between stimulus complexity and time estimation such that time ‘filled” with simple or complex stimuli is perceived as more extended than when the same time is “filled” with stimuli that is of a moderate complex nature. In addition, the present study assumes that this relationship can be better explained by considering the personality variables of extroversion and introversion and their interaction with stimulus complexity. The results confirmed the existence of a quadratic relationship between stimulus complexity and time(< = 0.001). The relationship between information processing in terms of stimulus complexity, personality variables, and the theme of time estimation is discussed.

The Relationship

This commentary is designed to provide an analysis of issues pertinent to the investigation of the effects of the temporary cessation of breathing (apnea), particularly during water immersion or diving, and its effects on time estimation in general and the timing of motor representation in particular. In addition, this analysis provides alternative explanations of certain unexpected findings reported by Di Rienzo et al. (2014) pertaining to apnea and interval timing. The perspective and guidance that this commentary provides on the relationship between apnea and time estimation is especially relevant considering the scarcity of experimental and clinical studies examining these variables.
