The relationship between duration perception and the feeling of time passing (passage of time) is not yet understood. In the present study, we assessed introspective reaction times (RT) and passage of time judgments in a speeded RT task. Task difficulty was manipulated in a numerical comparison task by numerical distance (distance from the number 45) and notation (digit vs. word). The results showed that both effects were reflected in introspective RTs, replicating previous results. Moreover, passage of time judgments showed a very similar pattern, with slower passage of time for more difficult comparisons. These results suggest that in the millisecond range judgments of duration and passage of time largely mirror each other when participants introspect about their own RT performance.
时长感知与时间流逝感（时间流逝）之间的关系尚未被理解。在本研究中，我们在一个快速反应时间任务中评估了内省反应时间（RT）和时间流逝判断。通过数值距离（距离 45 的数字）和符号（数字与文字），在数字比较任务中操纵任务难度。结果表明，这两种效应都反映在内省 RT 中，这与之前的结果一致。此外，时间流逝判断表现出非常相似的模式，较难的比较会导致时间流逝更慢。这些结果表明，在毫秒范围内，当参与者内省他们自己的 RT 表现时，时长和时间流逝的判断在很大程度上相互镜像。
