Comment on Nelson, et al.: 'Comparative time estimation skills of Hispanic children'

Recently Nelson, Smith, Dodd, and Smith reported a dissipation of a cross-cultural difference in time estimation. A number of difficulties in this study are noted and a recommendation for further research is provided. The difficulties include an inappropriate jump to a conclusion about future perspective and the restriction of the dissipation of the cross-cultural difference to Grade 5 children. Research on children beyond Grade 5 would demonstrate the durability of the dissipation reported.
