Abstract
This study examined a time pressure affects an expected time estimation and tried to elucidate cognitive processes of expected time estimation. By walking task, it compared both expected time estimations and expected distance estimations between different time pressure conditions. These results of experiments suggested, in cues for the estimation is fewer situation, the time pressure has the influence which makes the expected time overestimate (Study 1). This result is considered that the expected distance, which is a central information of task, is overestimated by time pressure (Study 2). However, if the participant is considered to have some cues before estimation, the expected time estimation was no difference between time pressure conditions. In cognitive processes of expected time estimation, it is considered to be assumed two sub-dimension that an estimation of physical time which reflect individual characteristics and an estimation of task contents which reflect task characteristics.
