Abstract
A reliable time function was established for five temporal intervals of 400, 800, 1,600, 2,400 and 4,800 msec. by the method of fractionation. 36 Ss made 10 judgments each for each of the 5 intervals. The means of the median half-values for all Ss were overestimations of 2.00, 2.08, 1.16, 6.52 and 9.31%. A scale of subjective time, the "temp scale," was constructed from the fractionation data, and the variables that probably influence the form of the scale discussed.
