✦ Synopsis

Time estimation was measured in 23 smokers, 21 non-smokers, and seven ex-smokers. All smokers abstained from smoking for 1 h prior to the session. The subjects performed a temporal estimation task of a short interval (10 s) with and without feedback, using a computerized method. The task included three training trials, immediately followed by 10 test trials. There was a signi®cant interaction between group, feedback and trial ( p 5 0Á03). Only in the smoker group did time estimation dier in the presence or absence of feedback: subjects overestimated to a greater degree without feedback than with feedback. These ®ndings are discussed in relation to the eects of abstinence of smoking, suggesting that even a very short abstinence period implies a modi®cation in the correcting eects of feedback.
