On Prospective Time Estimation, Temporal Relevance and Temporal Uncertainty

Abstract

(from the chapter) proposed ...that attention to time increases whenever the dimension of time becomes more relevant and important for adaptation to the external environment / proposed ...that the two parameters of TR (temporal relevance) and TU (temporal uncertainty) are major determinants of the level of temporal awareness / two experiments exploring the concepts of TR and TU will be reported / both experiments were conducted in a prospective time estimation paradigm / it was hypothesized that time estimates should be longer when the levels of TR and TU are high than when these levels are low /// one hundred and twenty-six undergraduates, aged between 18-30 years, participated in the experiment / number of males and females was equal
