Experienced duration was measured by the methods of reproduction and estimation under two conditions of perceptual oscillation, binocular rivalry and figure-ground reversal. While the number of rivalries was significantly negatively correlated with both reproduced and estimated time, the number of figure reversals was not correlated with judgments of duration. For both conditions of perceptual oscillation, reproduced and estimated durations were significantly positively correlated.
