“…In other words, one quality of a timing system is to ensure that a perceived duration approximates the real duration of a stimulus. This dependent variable is emphasized when the purpose is to understand what causes distortions of perceived duration (Frassinetti, Magnani, & Oliveri, 2009;Kanai & Watanabe, 2006;Nakajima et al, 2004;Ono & Kitazawa, 2010;Pariyadath & Eagleman, 2007; for reviews, see Eagleman, 2008, ten Hoopen et al, 2008; see also Guillot & Collet, 2005, for potential distortions when movement is mentally simulated). An example of distortion is called chronostasis-that is, the illusion that the second hand takes longer to move to its next position when someone makes voluntary saccadic eye movements while watching a silently ticking clock (Yarrow, Haggard, Heal, Brown, & Rothwell, 2001).…”

Suppose someone had to prepare a review article on visual perception, instead of time perception. This individual would probably ask for a series of reviews, with at least one-and probably several-dedicated to color, distance, shape, and motion perception, and maybe to other aspects of visual perception. It would be very difficult to complete the same exercise for time perception since the categories of temporal experiences are not as clearly defined. However, for a reader to understand the scope of a text on time perception, it is essential to develop a representation of what the main research avenues or categories are. The present text should help the reader to grasp the scope of recent literature related to psychological time and time perception.After a brief overview of the various perspectives on what could be meant by psychological time, the review will propose to identify of series of key concepts and empirical findings that should delineate the field of time perception and timing, and will discuss some models of time perception. The article also provides a review of the main recent findings in the field in which a neuroscientific approach to timing is adopted. In this section, the roles of the cerebellum, of the cerebral cortices, and of the basal ganglia in the timing processes are emphasized. Time Perception Beyond the Focus of the Present ReviewThere is a wide range of research on psychological time and temporal processing, mainly because of the ubiquity of time in behavior and the relevance of a temporal perspective in regard to living organisms and events. There is a vast literature in social psychology as to how behavior is shaped by time (see Perret-Clermont, 2005, or Strathman & Joireman, 2005, which includes topics such as time management, time perspective, and time orientation, or the relative value of past and future (Caruso, Gilbert, & Wilson, 2008;Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). Even within the scope of experimental psychology, some studies have emphasized how the temporal structure of events determines our perception of the world (see the second part of Helfrich, 2003).Some authors who are interested in consciousness have adopted a phenomenological perspective on time (see the first part of Buccheri, Saniga, & Stuckey, 2003). Indeed, time and consciousness have become more closely linked recently with the development of a new area of research on the concept of chronesthesia (awareness of subjective time; Tulving, 2002), as opposed to noetic consciousness (awareness of the world) or autonoetic consciousness (awareness of self in time). Interestingly, there is now evidence that even animals can anticipate the future (Roberts, 2008).There are many psychological time studies related in various ways to memory processes (Block & Zakay, 2008). One research avenue deals with the chronology of events in our lives, particularly the memory of the order of occurrence of these events (Damasio, 2002;Friedman, 1993 The aim of the present review article is to guide the reader through portions of the human time per...

“…Therefore, we expected to replicate the basic findings of the studies just reviewed. We report two experiments whose respective paradigms were similar to, though not identical with, those of Ono & Kitazawa (2010) and Experiment 1 of Penton-Voak et al (1996).…”

“…In this experiment, we asked participants to compare two empty intervals (I1, I2), as did Ono & Kitazawa (2010). However, we expanded the design to four conditions by presenting RAS (1) before I1, (2) between I1 and I2, (3) after I2, or (4) not at all.…”

“…Subsequent studies by Wearden and colleagues replicated some of these findings with Parkinson's patients (Wearden et al, 2009) and also showed that RAS can improve performance in various other cognitive tasks, presumably via acceleration of the internal pacemaker (Jones, Allely & Wearden, 2011). Ono & Kitazawa (2010) recently introduced another variant of the RAS paradigm. Their task required comparison of two empty intervals delimited by brief tone bursts.…”

Does Rapid Auditory Stimulation Accelerate an Internal Pacemaker? Don’t Bet on It

Timing Time Percept

Several interesting studies in the literature have demonstrated that a temporal interval coinciding with or following a rapid sequence of auditory stimuli is subjectively lengthened relative to a baseline interval without such rapid auditory stimulation (RAS). It has also been found that an interval preceding RAS is subjectively shortened. These effects have been attributed to acceleration of an internal pacemaker by RAS. The present study used musically trained participants in two experiments, similar to some reported in the literature. In Experiment 1, rapid chromatic scales preceded, followed, or intervened between two empty intervals that had to be compared. In Experiment 2, a series of comparison intervals, each preceded by a series of rapidly repeated tones, had to be compared to a memorized standard interval. Neither experiment yielded any effects of RAS relative to a control condition without RAS. These negative results raise questions about the conditions under which RAS affects interval judgment, and whether pacemaker acceleration is the correct explanation for these effects when they do occur.

“…In a typical study, researchers often examine what factors distort our perceived time. It has been shown that perceived time is modulated by emotion [1,2,3], stimulus size (e.g., [4]), stimulus luminance [5], velocity of stimulus motion [6,7,8], temporal frequency of visual flicker [9], and auditory tones [10,11]. These evidences suggest that various perceptual and cognitive processing are involved in our time perception.…”

The present study examined the effect of viewing spatially ordered numbers on time perception. Five single digits were presented as the test stimuli. The digits were chosen from 1 to 9 and presented in a horizontal line. We tested the arrangement of the digits in three conditions, where numerical magnitude of the digits increased from left to right (SmallLarge condition), decreased from left to right (Large-Small condition), or in a random order (Random condition). Observers were asked to reproduce the presentation duration of the stimuli by pressing the spacebar for as long as the stimulus had been presented. The results showed that the reproduced time was shorter in the Small-Large condition than the other two conditions. The effect of numerical order on time perception is discussed from the perspective of the mental representation of numbers and fluency of cognitive processing.
