Abstract Vierordt's (1868) law states that when estimating the duration of a previous task,
people overestimate short durations and underestimate long ones. We examine whether this
same pattern holds for remembered and predicted duration for tasks lasting between 1 and
15 min. In support of Vierordt's law and its extension to future duration estimates, task
duration tended to be overestimated for short tasks (less than 2 min) and underestimated for
long tasks for both remembered and predicted duration.

We examine whether this same pattern holds for remembered and predicted duration for tasks lasting between 1 and 15 min. In support of Vierordt’s law and its extension to future duration estimates, task duration tended to be overestimated for short tasks (less than 2 min) and underestimated for long tasks for both remembered and predicted duration.
