What is it about?
We take a close look at the task of prospective time reproduction, wherein an individual is aware of the fact that he or she will subsequently be asked to reproduce a demarked duration. Our participants were either explicitly instructed not to count, or were allowed to count. When participants are allowed to count, their reproductions (R) tend to be a linear function of target duration (D). Furthermore, when participants were instructed not to count, they exhibited a shorter log(R) mean value than those who were allowed to count.

Why is it important?
We contrast four major indices relating reproduced time (R) to target duration (D): R/D, D/R, |R-D| and |R-D|/D. While the D/R ratio score detected the difference between groups, this was not the case for the other measures.
