Abstract
Time is a precious resource that is closely linked to everyone so it is important to play the maximum value of time. Some research show that definite limit of time can affect the attitude to time and then help people to use time efficiently. In order to explore the theoretical significance and practical value of time and time-bound definiteness, this study examined the effect of time-bound definiteness on cognitive learning performance and the mediating effect of time stress. 33 college students were recruited and randomly divided into time-definiteness (n = 16) and time-indefiniteness groups (n = 17), and dependent variable cognitive learning performance was measured by American College Test with controlling attention stability. The results showed that: (1) the time-bound definiteness improved the cognitive learning performance significantly; (2) the mediating effect of time pressure between time-bound definiteness and cognitive learning performance was not significant. The time-bound definiteness could provide a new route to the development of time perception and management, which has academic prospect and deserves to be used in more applied researches. This study provides a remedy for vacancies in the study of time-bound definiteness, and offers valuable suggestions for self-discipline in many areas such as education and economic management.
Highlights
Time is a precious resource that people can use, and it is an important dimension for the body to adapt to the environment
The results showed that the difference in attention stability between the experimental group and the control group was not significant (t (29) = 0.48, p = 0.632, 95% CI [-2.91, 4.72].]). t test was performed on the correct reading rate of the experimental group and the control group
This research starts from the difference between the time-bound definiteness and indefiniteness, revealing that the definiteness of the time limit will significantly affect the performance of cognitive learning
Summary
Time is a precious resource that people can use, and it is an important dimension for the body to adapt to the environment. How to make full use of time is an important factor affecting learning efficiency [4], and whether there is time-bound definiteness will affect the perception of time [5]. The core of this research is about the effect of the time-bound definiteness on the individual learning performance. Time pressure refers to the subjective perception phenomenon that individual has insufficient time or even lack of time. It is a cognitive experience in which the individual does not have enough time to do things, and an emotional experience such as urgency and anxiety [6]. For individuals with discrepant differences, time pressure has different positive or negative effect on individual performance. For individuals with discrepant differences, time pressure has different positive or negative effect on individual performance. [8] For learning, whether self-regulated learning determines reading performance under time pressure [9,10]
