Children�s time estimation literature lacks of studies comparing prospective and retrospective time estimates of long lasting\r\necological tasks, i.e. tasks reflecting children�s daily activities. In the present study, children were asked to estimate\r\nprospectively or retrospectively how much time they played a video game or read a magazine. Regardless of the task, the\r\nresults revealed that prospective time estimates were longer than the retrospective ones. Also, time estimates of the video\r\ngame task were longer, less accurate and more variable than those of the reading task. The results are discussed in the light\r\nof the current literature about time estimation of long lasting ecological tasks.
