“…As expected, our results show that the age-related decrease in the number of clock checks is explained by temporal accuracy. These findings are thus in line with those of Labelle et al (2009) in an adult sample. Considering Harris and Wilkins' (1982) model, our findings support the idea that processing the temporal units of an internal clock constitutes the mechanism that triggers the decision to check the clock, on which the efficiency of the prospective response relies.…”

“…In our study, as in many others (e.g., McFarland & Glisky, 2009), older people did not check the clock as often as young ones, particularly during the second half of the target period. Using an adapted strategy, young adults increased the frequency of their clock checks during the second half of the interval, as the crucial period approached (Labelle et al, 2009) and showed a high level of performance on the TBPM task. As emphasised by Kliegel, Martin, McDaniel, and Einstein (2001), time monitoring reflects the allocation of attention to solving the prospective memory task.…”

“…Waldum and Sahakyan (2013) found that, even when people can refer to a clock to perform a TBPM task accurately, they use their duration knowledge associated with interval events to help them estimate the passage of time and determine when to perform clock checks. Labelle, Graf, Grondin, and Gagné-Roy (2009) tested whether the same temporal processes were involved in a temporal estimation task and a TBPM task. Their results reveal a significant correlation between the duration production performance assessing time estimation capacities and the frequency of monitoring during the last period (30 s) of each retention interval.…”

Time-based prospective memory (TBPM) is required when it is necessary to remember to perform an action at a specific future point in time. This type of memory has been found to be particularly sensitive to ageing, probably because it requires a self-initiated response at a specific time. In this study, we sought to examine the involvement of temporal processes in the time monitoring strategy, which has been demonstrated to be a decisive factor in TBPM efficiency. We compared the performance of young and older adults in a TBPM task in which they had to press a response button every minute while categorising words. The design allowed participants to monitor time by checking a clock whenever they decided. Participants also completed a classic time-production task and several executive tasks assessing inhibition, updating and shifting processes. Our results confirm an age-related lack of accuracy in prospective memory performance, which seems to be related to a deficient strategic use of time monitoring. This could in turn be partially explained by age-related temporal deficits, as evidenced in the duration production task. These findings suggest that studies designed to investigate the age effect in TBPM tasks should consider the contribution of temporal mechanisms.

“…The other process is distance based and involves estimating the amount of time that has elapsed between a past event and the present, or the relative recency of two past events. Another memory-related ability is known as prospective memory, or the ability to formulate plans and promises, to retain them, and to execute them in the future in the appropriate context, which may involve a time (e.g., 5:00 p.m.) or a specific amount of time (e.g., 5 min) (for time-based issues on prospective memory, see Glicksohn & Myslobodsky, 2006;Labelle, Graf, Grondin, & Gagné-Roy, 2009). Finally, the capacity to estimate the duration of a future task is another ability based on memory (Roy & Christenfeld, 2008;Roy, Christenfeld, & McKenzie, 2005;Thomas, Handley, & Newstead, 2007).…”

Suppose someone had to prepare a review article on visual perception, instead of time perception. This individual would probably ask for a series of reviews, with at least one-and probably several-dedicated to color, distance, shape, and motion perception, and maybe to other aspects of visual perception. It would be very difficult to complete the same exercise for time perception since the categories of temporal experiences are not as clearly defined. However, for a reader to understand the scope of a text on time perception, it is essential to develop a representation of what the main research avenues or categories are. The present text should help the reader to grasp the scope of recent literature related to psychological time and time perception.After a brief overview of the various perspectives on what could be meant by psychological time, the review will propose to identify of series of key concepts and empirical findings that should delineate the field of time perception and timing, and will discuss some models of time perception. The article also provides a review of the main recent findings in the field in which a neuroscientific approach to timing is adopted. In this section, the roles of the cerebellum, of the cerebral cortices, and of the basal ganglia in the timing processes are emphasized. Time Perception Beyond the Focus of the Present ReviewThere is a wide range of research on psychological time and temporal processing, mainly because of the ubiquity of time in behavior and the relevance of a temporal perspective in regard to living organisms and events. There is a vast literature in social psychology as to how behavior is shaped by time (see Perret-Clermont, 2005, or Strathman & Joireman, 2005, which includes topics such as time management, time perspective, and time orientation, or the relative value of past and future (Caruso, Gilbert, & Wilson, 2008;Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). Even within the scope of experimental psychology, some studies have emphasized how the temporal structure of events determines our perception of the world (see the second part of Helfrich, 2003).Some authors who are interested in consciousness have adopted a phenomenological perspective on time (see the first part of Buccheri, Saniga, & Stuckey, 2003). Indeed, time and consciousness have become more closely linked recently with the development of a new area of research on the concept of chronesthesia (awareness of subjective time; Tulving, 2002), as opposed to noetic consciousness (awareness of the world) or autonoetic consciousness (awareness of self in time). Interestingly, there is now evidence that even animals can anticipate the future (Roberts, 2008).There are many psychological time studies related in various ways to memory processes (Block & Zakay, 2008). One research avenue deals with the chronology of events in our lives, particularly the memory of the order of occurrence of these events (Damasio, 2002;Friedman, 1993 The aim of the present review article is to guide the reader through portions of the human time per...

“…Although great strides have been made toward understanding the mechanisms of EBPM (e.g., Einstein & McDaniel, 1996; McDaniel & Einstein, 2000; Smith, 2003), there is still a paucity of studies examining the mechanisms of TBPM, of which time estimation is thought to be a central component (e.g., Block & Zakay, 2006, Cockburn, 2006; Graf & Grondin, 2006; Harris & Wilkins, 1982; Jager & Kliegel, 2008; Kvavilashvili & Fisher, 2007; Labelle, Graf, Grondin, & Gagne’-Roy, 2009; Mantyla & Grazia-Carelli, 2006; Park, Herzog, Kidder, Morrell, & Mayhorn, 1997). Despite wide agreement that time estimation plays a critical role in TBPM, there is a clear lack of integration between research in the TBPM and the time estimation domains.…”

A role for memory in prospective timing informs timing in prospective memory.

Time-based prospective memory (TBPM) tasks require the estimation of time in passing – known as prospective timing. Prospective timing is said to depend on an attentionally-driven internal clock mechanism, and is thought to be unaffected by memory for interval information (for reviews see, Block, Hancock, & Zakay, 2010; Block & Zakay, 1997). A prospective timing task that required a verbal estimate following the entire interval (Experiment 1) and a TBPM task that required production of a target response during the interval (Experiment 2) were used to test an alternative view that episodic memory does influence prospective timing. In both experiments, participants performed an ongoing lexical decision task of fixed duration while a varying number of songs were played in the background. Experiment 1 results revealed that verbal time estimates became longer the more songs participants remembered from the interval, suggesting that memory for interval information influences prospective time estimates. In Experiment 2, participants who were asked to perform the TBPM task without the aid of an external clock made their target responses earlier as the number of songs increased, indicating that prospective estimates of elapsed time increased as more songs were experienced. For participants who had access to a clock, changes in clock-checking coincided with the occurrence of song boundaries, indicating that participants used both song information and clock information to estimate time. Finally, ongoing task performance and verbal reports in both experiments further substantiate a role for episodic memory in prospective timing.
