The influence of stimulus number and familiarity on judged duration were investigated. The stimuli were slides with different numbers of stimulus elements of a familiar or unfamiliar nature. The task was to reproduce the durations of the slides, each shown for four intervals: 5, 9, 13, and 17 sec. The results show that the number of stimulus elements presented within a given interval affected its perceived duration, although the familiarity of those elements (as defined herein) did not. Finally, the shorter intervals sampled here were overestimated and the longer intervals were underestimated, thereby supporting Vierordt's law.
研究了刺激数量和熟悉程度对判断持续时间的影响。刺激物是带有不同数量熟悉或不熟悉性质刺激元素的幻灯片。任务是重现每张幻灯片的持续时间，每张幻灯片展示四个时间间隔：5秒、9秒、13秒和17秒。结果表明，给定时间间隔内呈现的刺激元素数量会影响其感知持续时间，尽管这些元素的熟悉程度（如本文所定义）并不会产生影响。最后，这里采样的较短时间间隔被高估，较长时间间隔被低估，从而支持了菲奥尔特定律。
