Abstract
This experiment explored the relationship between perceived time and memory. One hundred and forty-four subjects viewed a list of 30 words under one of three conditions. The conditions were designed to induce differences in the perceived duration of the words by varying the number of incidental stimuli during the period just before each word was visible. After viewing the list, all subjects estimated the duration of each word, the number of words, and the duration of the list. Following this, subjects attempted to recognize the words among 50 distractors. It was found that increases in memory accompanied increases in perceived duration. The results were consistent with the hypothesis that changes in time perception and memory are mediated by changes in attention.
