PURPOSE: To test one component of Barkley's (1997) model of executive functions by examining the relationship between behavioral inhibition and time perception in children.METHOD: Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationships between measures of behavioral inhibition and time perception for the entire sample, and for boys ( n = 34) and girls ( n = 26) separately. FINDINGS: For both parent and child measures, behavioral inhibition and time perception scores were correlated for the total group and for girls. Child measure of behavioral inhibition and time perception were not correlated for boys.CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study support Barkley's theory and indicate a relationship between poor behavioral inhibition and poor time perception in children.
