To study the effects of auditory distraction on time estimation by the verbal estimation method, 20 Ss of both the sexes were divided into 2 groups: 10 Ss for `SQ' group (stimulus in quiet) and 10 Ss for `SS' group (stimulus in sound). `SQ' group obtained 15, 30, 60 and 120 sec, stimulus intervals, five times each in random order under normal condition (without distraction) while `SS' group received the same stimulus intervals with continuous sound of 1250 c.p.s. The results showed: (a) `SQ' and `SS' of verbal estimation method have differential effects on time estimation for all the stimulus intervals, (b) A tendency of over estimation is found for `SQ' and `SS' both conditions, but `SS' condition yields more over estimation of all the stimulus intervals in comparison to `SQ' condition, (c) For both `SQ' and `SS' conditions repeated trials have significant differential effects on time estimation, i.e., increase in trial number, decreases the magnitude of errors (overestimation), (d) `SQ' and `SS' do not interact with repeated trials in a significant manner.
