In search of paintings influence on time judgement

The influence of paintings on short time interval perception was studied. Three methods for time estimation were tested: direct scaling and two modifications of the method of reproduction – with and without simultaneous presentation of the painting whose duration was, reproduced. The results show that short time interval perception is influenced by such complex stimuli as paintings. The motor reproduction with simultaneous presentation of the visual stimulus was the most effective in revealing the influence of paintings on short time interval perception.
