To determine whether estimates of duration are altered when people use computers, 60 undergraduates solved easy or difficult single-solution anagrams presented on paper and by computer. Subjects who solved easy anagrams presented on paper underestimated the duration of time allowed for the task, while subjects who completed the anagrams presented by computer overestimated that duration. Also, subjects who solved difficult anagrams presented on computers solved significantly fewer anagrams than did subjects who solved difficult anagrams presented on paper. Results are discussed in terms of contradictory results of past research regarding perceived complexity of events in intervals and the interaction of task type and time estimation.
为了确定人们使用计算机时持续时间的估计是否会改变，60名本科生解答了纸上和计算机上呈现的简单或困难的单解字谜。解答纸上呈现的简单字谜的受试者低估了任务允许的时间，而完成计算机呈现的字谜的受试者高估了这段时间。此外，解答计算机上呈现的困难字谜的受试者解答的字谜数量明显少于解答纸上呈现的困难字谜的受试者。研究结果依据过去关于间隔中事件感知复杂性以及任务类型与时间估计相互作用的矛盾研究结果进行了讨论。
