Erfahrung von Zeit ist ein wenig erforschtes Gebiet in der Psychiatrie, das immer wieder seitens der Philosophie und ihrem Interesse an der menschlichen Existenz in der Zeit angeregt wurde und wird. Dieser Übersichtsbeitrag streicht heraus, wie wichtig es ist, verschiedene Formen von Zeiterfahrung zu unterscheiden. Nach derzeitigem Wissensstand fin...

Our perception of time varies with the degree of cognitive engagement in tasks. The perceived passage of time accelerates while working on demanding tasks, whereas time appears to drag during boring situations. Our experiment aimed at investigating whether this relationship is mutual: Can manipulated announcements of elapsed time systematically aff...

Perceived duration can be subject to deviations around the time of a voluntary action. Whether the mechanisms underlying action-induced visual duration effects are effector-specific or require a more generalized action-linked multimodal calibration with the transient visual system, however, is a question yet to be answered. Here, we investigate thi...

The aim of this study was to examine the cognitive processes involved in time contraction caused by a non-temporal distractor during the presentation of a temporal stimulus. To this aim 95 children aged 5 to 8 years old as well as 25 adults were first trained to discriminate, on two visual temporal bisection tasks, a short standard duration (400 or...

This study examined the effect of emotion on the judgment of durations of several minutes compared with that of durations of a few seconds. Three experiments were performed on the temporal judgment of emotional stimuli lasting from 2 s to 6 min (Experiment 1) or from 2 to 6 min (Experiment 2 and 3). These involved emotional sounds (Experiment 1 and...

Numerical digits influence perceived duration; specifically, higher numerical digit values are perceived to be longer than lower ones that are presented for the same duration of time. To examine the functional relationship between digit value and perceived duration further, three models based on digit value and covered area were tested in two exper...

Behavioral evidence suggests that different mechanisms mediate duration perception depending on whether regular or irregular cues for time estimation are provided, and that individual differences in interoceptive processing may affect duration perception only in the latter case. However, no study has addressed brain correlates of this proposed dist...

People often say that during unpleasant events, e.g. traumatic incidents such as car accidents, time slows down (i.e. time is overestimated). However aversive events can elicit at least two dissociable subtypes of reactions: fear (transient and relating to an imminent event) and anxiety (diffuse and relating to an unpredictable event). We hypothesi...

Temporal processing, crucial to guide behavior toward a goal, may have a role in forming a depressive episode, yet it remains unclear which properties of temporal processing are central to antidepressant response. Production of a short duration oscillates in a circadian manner. Altered circadian organization of physiology and behavior are a hallmar...
