The perceived duration of an interval depends on numerous aspects of the passed event both endogenous, including physiological arousal, level of wakefulness, attention, and surprise, as well as exogenous such as valence, salience, or context in the environment. There is some evidence that "time-giving" cues from the environment (zeitgebers) are coupled with time perception. The movement of the sun on the horizon was demonstrated to affect interval perception in a study conducted by Schatzschneider et al. (2016) claiming that the sun’s motion is a zeitgeber that influences time perception. In the present study, we undertake the first to our knowledge replication of this effect, extending the analysis to confounding aspects of the used paradigm. We aimed to test the effect of immersion, cognitive load, and changes in the speed of the sun on the horizon of the virtual environment on the perceived interval duration. We did not replicate the original effect, as reported by Schatzschneider et al., however, we did find that the perceived duration of an interval was affected by cognitive load, fatigue, and unpleasant symptoms caused by VR. In our analysis, we used Bayesian statistics to support our conclusion and offer its results as having some important consequences for the field.
