The influence of amount limits and time limits upon the rate of work

Abstract

Problems of two single digits were added under six working conditions. Rate of work was found to be higher for smaller work periods. Differences between rates of work were smaller when the relative proportions of task were smaller. Rate of work seems to be consistently higher when the task is in terms of amount than in terms of time. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
