"‘In remembered durations you count memories, whereas in experienced durations you essentially count time’ Imagine a situation where one person is asked to perform a difficult mental math problem, while another person is asked to perform a simple mental math problem, and still a third person is asked to do nothing, all for the same time interval. Before beginning the activity, all 3 people are informed that they will have to guess how long it will take after completion. What would be the outcome? Research has confirmed that the activity will be estimated to be longest by the person doing nothing 139. It will be estimated to be the shortest by the one doing the complicated mental math problem. For the person doing the simple math problem, it will be somewhere in between."
