Date of correction: February 24, 2009 Reason for correction: - Correction: ABSTRACT Details: Wrong : The role of learning in accuracy of duration estimation was examined using the response duration schedule with 155 children in 6 groups between the ages of 3 and 9 years and with 20 adults. The mails results were as follows: (a) Most children over 3 years 10 months of age could learn to estimate more or less exactly the duration of a 10s interval by using visual and verbal feedback. (b) The number of trials to reach the criterion (estimations within ±1s of the true value) decreased with age. (c) In the early learning period, response duration estimations were generally too short but lengthened rapidly in the later stages, though very long response durations were often shown by 3-year-old children in the early stages. (d) The ability to fine tune the duration estimation by using feedback increased with age. These findings were explained by Matsuda's model of duration estimation.
