Results indicated that both subjective time durations, one day and three years, are well described by the normal distribution if the time scale is logarithmic rather than linear. A remarkable finding obtained here is that in reference to the mean subjective time duration of the junior high school (three years), the mean subjective time durations for each of the three-year periods before elementary school were significantly longer than unity (about 1.2), and the subjective duration of the three year period of the senior high school is significantly shorter (about 0.8). When subjects transferred to other elementary schools at 6 to 11 years of age, the mean subjective time duration of the periods below 11 years of age was much longer, more than 1.3.
结果表明，如果时间尺度是对数而非线性的，那么一天和三年这两个主观持续时间都能很好地用正态分布来描述。此处获得的一个显著发现是，参照初中（三年）的平均主观持续时间，小学之前每一个三年期的平均主观持续时间都显著长于1（约为1.2），而高中三年期的主观持续时间则显著短于1（约为0.8）。当受试者在6至11岁转至其他小学时，11岁以下各时期的平均主观持续时间长得多，超过1.3。
