Abstract
Time perception was studied in children under school age from 2.5 to 6 years. Using cross-modal matching, the children assessed durations of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10-sec sound signals. It was found out that children under school age, irrespective of sex, more accurately estimated the e xtreme durations in the interval range (1 and 10 sec). In contrast to girls, boys reveal a clear-cut tendency to minimize the variability of assessments with age. Nevertheless, this tendency is not related with the attention level.
