Longitudinal changes in time estimation in XXXX : a preliminary study.

@entity1 @entity162 @entity308 @entity3354 @entity1316 @entity18822
8 @entity1 with hospital diagnoses of @entity18822 were studied by repeated measurements of time estimation using the three different methods of metronome adjustment, verbal estimation and operative estimation (production) of short time intervals. Retrospective estimations of longer intervals were also studied. The diagnoses were evaluated according to @entity3354 . The degree of mental disturbance was rated with subscales of the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale. Earlier findings had indicated that @entity162 @entity1 tend to overestimate short time intervals and that some @entity308 @entity1 underestimated time, but some investigators have reported different results. A longitudinal study could possibly support the earlier findings if the time estimations should vary with the clinical states of the @entity1 . Such a variation was suggested by the results of 5 of the 8 @entity1 . In several cases there were statistically significant correlations between the results of time estimations and the rating scores. This partly supports earlier findings. Associations between time estimations and changes in clinical state seem to be present in some cases of major @entity1316 . Operative estimations were best correlated with ratings in most cases.
