“…The lack of significant predictive role of the sense of time as rated by parents partially contrasts with our hypothesis; in fact, considering the preliminary results on the accordance between parent questionnaires and children's behavioural performance in time‐related tasks (Meaux & Chelonis, ; Tobia et al ., ), we expected the points of view of parents to be significantly linked to preschoolers’ performance in time reproduction and time discrimination. However, preschool might be a period in which parents are more focused on their children's linguistic and number skills, whereas time processing skills might not be among the functions on which parents of preschoolers focus their attention; in other words, parents might not expect their children to have developed adequate time processing skills, or they might not view failures in this domain with apprehension.…”

“…An exception is a study showing time processing impairments both via parent and teacher questionnaires and via behavioural assessment in preschoolers at risk of developing difficulties in mathematics (Tobia et al ., ). Considering school‐aged children, a correlation between the score of a parent‐report questionnaire assessing sense of time and a time processing measure (i.e., inter‐tap interval in a free tapping task) has been identified in children with ASD (Isaksson et al ., ); similarly, Meaux and Chelonis () found a concurrent correlation between the ‘It's about time’ score and time reproduction in children. This correlation can be considered to be the first evidence of the link between children's sense of time measured with proxy‐report questionnaires and time processing skills directly observed in children.…”

“…Considering past evidence, which shows time‐related difficulties in some developmental disorders and was derived with multiple methods (i.e., self‐ and proxy‐report questionnaires and behavioural tasks), we expect that the observations of children's sense of time by parents and teachers, collected through a questionnaire, will both concurrently and longitudinally predict children's performance in time processing tasks. This hypothesis is further supported by preliminary evidence regarding a significant concurrent correlation between parent‐report questionnaires’ score and children's performance in time processing behavioural tasks (Isaksson et al ., ; Meaux & Chelonis, ), as found in school‐aged children. Most evidence comes from studies investigating the points of view of parents.…”

Time processing difficulties are associated with developmental disorders. Questionnaires for assessing children's sense of time are available from primary school, but we lack valid proxy‐report tools for younger children, who are not able to complete self‐reports. This study aimed to assess the criterion validity of a questionnaire investigating preschoolers’ sense of time from the points of view of their parents and teachers. One hundred seventy preschoolers were included in the sample. Their parents and teachers completed the Sense of Time Questionnaire, and the children were administered time reproduction and time discrimination tasks, both concurrently and 7 months later. The assessment of preschoolers’ sense of time reported by teachers, but not by parents, predicted the children's time processing skills both concurrently and longitudinally. The teacher version of the Sense of Time Questionnaire constitutes a valid instrument for assessing and predicting preschoolers’ time processing skills and can be used for clinical and research purposes Statement of contribution What is already known on this subject? Time processing difficulties are associated with developmental disorders such as ADHD and dyscalculia. Early assessment of time processing skills is important for clinical (e.g., screening) and research purposes. We do not have valid questionnaires for assessing sense of time in young children. What the present study adds? The sense of time ability reported by teachers predicts preschoolers’ time processing skills. The sense of time ability reported by parents does not predicts preschoolers’ time processing skills. The Sense of Time Questionnaire is a valid instrument for investigating time processing skills of 4–6 aged children.

“…Studies using attentional distractors have shown how age-related improvement in abilities to resist interference affects time perception Gauthier & Droit-Volet, 2002). Similarly, children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show particular impairment in time reproduction related to their poor behavior inhibition (Barkley, Koplowitz, Anderson, & McMurray, 1997;Meaux & Chelonis, 2005;Smith, Taylor, Rogers, Newman, & Rubia, 2002). However, as specifically concerned with the short-term retention, two main sources have been suggested: changes in the rehearsal strategy and increases in processing speed.…”

Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent disorders within the child population today. Inattention problems can lead to greater difficulties in completing assignments, as well as problems with time management and prioritisation of tasks. This article presents an intelligent tele-therapy tool based on Serious Games for Health, aimed at the improvement of time management skills and the prioritisation of tasks. This tele-system is based on the use of decision trees within Django, a high-level Python Web framework. The technologies and techniques used were selected so as to boost user involvement and to enable the system to be easily customised. This article shows the preliminary results of the pilot-phase in an experiment performed to evaluate the use of adaptive tele-therapies within a group of typically developing children and adolescents aged between 12 and 19 years old without ADHD. To do so, we relied on the collection of parameters and the conduct of surveys for assessing time management skills, as well as measuring system usability and availability. The results of a time management survey highlighted that the users involved in the trial did not use any specific or effective time management techniques, scoring 1.98 and 2.30 out of 5 points in this area for ages under 15 and over 16 years old, respectively. The final calculations based on the usability questionnaire resulted in an average score of 78.75 out of 100. The creation of a customisable tool capable of working with different skills, in conjunction with the replication of the current study, may help to understand these users’ needs, as well as boosting time management skills among teenagers with and without ADHD.

The Relationship between Behavioral Inhibition and Time Perception in Children

Abstract: The findings of this study support Barkley's theory and indicate a relationship between poor behavioral inhibition and poor time perception in children.
