Introduction
Observation: It seems that urgency can influence behavior in the expanded judgment paradigm. Research question: Is this related the perception of time?
Research question: is this related to the perception of time?
Hypothesis: the size of urgency effect is (partly) determined by individuals' ability to estimate time.

Participants
Tasks
Participants performed two tasks: in one task participants had to estimate a temporal interval (of duration X seconds); in the second task participants made an expanded judgment under time pressure (deadline after x seconds).
Timing Task
During the timing task, participants had to estimate a temporal interval of duration x seconds by pressing the space bar two times. Participants received feedback of their estimation accuracy. In this part of the experiment, participants had to learn how long seconds take by doing a task. Trials consist of three stages
