Presenting more items within a space makes the space look and feel bigger. Presenting more tones within a time interval makes the interval seem longer. Does presenting more items also make a time interval seem longer? Does it matter what these items are? A series of 2-4 images were presented sequentially on a screen. Participants had to press the spacebar to indicate either the interval between the first and the last item or the intervals between all items. The first and last items were red squares with onset asynchronies of 700, 900, or 1,100 ms. We found that the times between key presses were longer when additional items had different shapes and colors than when they were also red squares. With only red squares, the time may even decrease with the number of items. Whether one had to tap for all targets or only the first and the last hardly mattered.
在一个空间中呈现更多的项目会使空间看起来更大，在一个时间间隔内呈现更多的色调会使间隔看起来更长。那么呈现更多的项目是否也会使时间间隔看起来更长？这些项目是什么重要吗？一系列 2-4 个图像按顺序在屏幕上呈现。参与者必须按下空格键来指示第一个和最后一个项目之间的间隔或所有项目之间的间隔。第一个和最后一个项目是红色正方形，起始异步为 700、900 或 1100 毫秒。我们发现，当附加项目具有不同的形状和颜色时，与它们也是红色正方形时相比，按键之间的时间更长。只有红色正方形时，时间甚至可能随项目数量的增加而减少。无论是必须为所有目标还是仅为第一个和最后一个目标点击几乎都没有关系。
