Abstract: Fifteen film episodes and eight news segments were used to examine the retrospective time memory. The film episodes and the news events were broadcasted at the same time. Participants were asked to recall the temporal locus (when), the temporal order, temporal duration of the episodes and news events 4 days after the broadcast. Participants had better recall accuracy for film episodes than for news events in terms of their temporal order. They also recalled more actuarially for 7-minutes duration and 15-minutes duration than for 30-minutes duration. They tended to overestimate the 7-minutes duration, but underestimate 30-minutes duration. They also had high accuracy for film episodes than for news when they were asked to recall the temporal locus of those events. The accuracy of time memory was affected significantly by personal involvement of the participants. Materials with high personal involvement tended to produce more accurate memory for temporal order and temporal locus. Retrospective memory for duration was influenced by interactions of true duration length and delaying days. Memory for temporal order fit in with hierarchical network model. Under the condition of lack of consideration, it tends to be represented by linearity model.

Key words: retrospective temporal memory, temporal order, temporal locus, temporal duration
