Abstract(in English) The duration of a short time interval can be substantially underestimated when it is immediately preceded by a physically shorter time interval. This illusion is named "time shrinking", and it had been interpreted as assimilation between two neighboring intervals. We found that time shrinking, i.e., the underestimation of the last duration, can take place also when three, instead of two, empty time intervals neighbor each other. The influence of the second time interval was domiant. We had to grasp the relationship between the three neighboring time intervals as a whole in order to understand whether time shrinking occurs or not. We show the applicability of Gestalt principles to time shrinking.
