the claim

Distractions make time seem to pass faster.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that distractions make time seem to pass faster?

Unclear. The retrieved items only partially touch the claim: one discusses how sparse memory encoding makes time seem to pass faster, and another reports that relaxation quickens perceived time. None directly tests whether distraction itself makes time seem to pass faster.
