The clock effect on the task performance

We examined influence of a clock ticking on task performance using a laboratory experiment. We determined performance at various clock speeds using a trick clock that allowed us to control the speed of the ticking. We found that the subjects´ performances were influenced by the speed at which the clock ticked, and people performed more slowly with a slow clock. We demonstrated that common environmental stimuli we encounter in life, such as the ticking of a clock, have a significant effect on human behavior.
