Abstract :
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cognitive load and task duration and interaction of these variables on time perception. The research method was quasi-experimental. The population of this research was school students, university students, and personnel of organizations of Kerman city in 2018 and among them, 300 persons (150 males and 150 females) were selected by available sampling method. The time reproduction task was used for obtaining data. The results showed that the main effect of cognitive load and task duration and interactive effect of these variables on time perception were significant (p<0.01). Cognitive load and increase of the task duration affect time perception in the form of increasing the amount of time reproduction error.
