3) Research Questions? A description of the questions you are examining.

Independent variable = difficulty of tasks given

Dependent variable = the change in the individual's perception of time across tasks

We are investigating the association between individuals' perception of task difficulty and their perceived changes in time passage.

We will use this 4-point scale + the second question from Viola's paper

Four-point rating scale for judging "the degree of modulation rate change"

1 = strong decreasing modulation rate (slowing down)

2 = slight/moderate decreasing modulation rate

3 = slight/moderate increasing modulation rate

4 = strong increasing modulation rate (speeding up)
