Based on a definition of time knowledge as the correct representation and use of the various time units, a validated questionnaire, the Time Knowledge Questionnaire (TKQ) has been developed with norms for typically developing children aged 6–11 years. The TKQ is a relatively short (10–45 min) and innovative tool, comprising 25 questions broken down into 7 categories. The TKQ has good internal consistency. A total score and two summary scores are provided, assessing conventional time and estimative time respectively. A clinical application of the tool was shown to be of interest for children with disorders or disabilities.
