Abstract
Using 2 × 2 × 2 mixed design, the current research discussed the existence possibility and the characteristics of implicit time under dynamic and static conditions. The materials were concrete and abstract figures. The results showed: (1) under dynamic condition, the subjects’ judgment on the location excursion of abstract figure was more accurate than other conditions. (2) implicit time had the characteristics of orientation. (3) either the material was concrete or abstract figures, the subjects’ judgments on the location excursion of the test figure and the memorial figure had no difference. The results suggest the existence of implicit time and the characteristics of orientation and impenetrability of it. Furthermore, the results testify that the motorial paradigm can be seen as an effective method for the study of implicit time.
