Light & Easy Study: Time Does Fly When Having Fun Canadian researchers said they have proven that time really does fly when a person is having fun -- or, at least, when one's attention is engaged. Researchers at the University of Alberta devised a test that required subjects to find specific items in various images -- a sort of "Where's Waldo?" activity, they said. However, before the subjects started the test, they were told that once they had completed it they would be asked to estimate how much time had passed during their test. The tests contained seven levels of difficulty. In some cases, the items were easy to find because they were different colors, or the items were set among just one or two others. In the more difficult tests, the items were placed among many similar looking items, or they did not even exist in the image, at all. "The harder and harder the search tasks were, the smaller and smaller the estimates became," the researchers said. "The results were super clean -- we have created a new and powerful paradigm to get at the link between time and attention." Copyright 2004 by United Press International.
