Reproduction and Estimation Methods of Time Judgment

Abstract
Two methods of time judgment, the method of reproduction and the method of estimation, were compared. Ss were women blindfolded after ocular surgery, women not blindfolded after ocular surgery, and visually normal female employees of the hospital. The reproduction task was handled equally well by all groups, and time estimates were given with greater accuracy and reproducibility than for the estimation task. On the other hand, the method of estimation led to differential performance among groups, with greatest accuracy and least variance in the working group, and least accuracy with greatest variance in the blindfolded group.
