The Relationship

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.

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.

The Relationship

This study explored the relationship between Type A Behavior Pattern, visual imagery, and ability for time estimation. 115 subjects filled out a questionnaire which assessed them for the presence of a visual imaginary representation of time and scores on Type A or B behavior. While completing the questionnaire, subjects made estimates of four timed intervals of 8 min., 22 sec. The treatment consisted of formal training in visual imagery representations between time estimates of intervals 3 and 4. Data were analyzed using a 2 × 2 × 4 mixed analysis of variance in which the subject variables (Type A/B, visual imaginary representation, and time estimate) were dichotomized using median splits. The dependent measures were accuracy scores for each of the four estimation trials. Subjects with training in visual imaginary representation estimated time more accurately; Type A subjects with training in visual imaginary representation were the most accurate. All subjects improved over the four trials, with greatest improvement following training in visual imaginary representation. The most consistent improvement in time estimates occurred in Type A subjects. Results replicated and extended previous findings associating visual imaginary representations with more accurate time perception, especially for individuals scoring as showing Type A behavior pattern.

Nonsense Syllables

In order to investigate the relationship between the temporal proximity of associational processes and the experience of time, 40 male Ss were asked to reproduce a series of 1-min. time intervals in which they wrote down words input to them at various rates. Half the group was given nonsense syllables and the other half was given words with high associational value. Ss who heard nonsense syllables gave progressively shorter estimates of the 1-min. interval as the rate of input of these stimuli was increased. However, Ss who heard words with high associational value showed no difference in their time estimates as the rate of input was increased. The study suggests that time estimates are in part a function of the frequency of associational processes initiated during a given temporal duration.

The Relationship

Certain empirical evidence suggests that subjects prone to delinquent activity may have faster internal clocks than others. To investigate the relationship between antisocial behavior and time perception and its dependence on the experimental time interval and method and on whether the subject is institutionalized we obtained verbal and production estimates of 5-, 15-, 30-, and 60-sec. intervals from 249 adolescents (156 school attenders and 93 institutionalized subjects) classified into 3 groups according to the intensity of their antisocial activity. Results provide no support for the hypothesis that overestimation of short time intervals is associated with either juvenile delinquency or institutionalization.
