“…Previous studies have found that perception of temporal duration depends upon various factors. That is, perceived duration increased with frequency of attending to the lapse of time (Fraisse, 1984), perceived numbers of events during that period (Brown, 1995;Fraisse, 1984;Poynter, 1989), perceived size of the stimulus (Ono & Kawahara, 2007;Thomas & Cantor, 1975, 1976, the number denoted by a stimulus (Xuan, Zhan, He, & Chen, 2007), and the amount of energy expended by neurons required to process perceptual stimuli during the period (Eagleman, 2008;Pariyadath & Eagleman, 2007). Strong emotion is also a factor affecting elongation of perceived duration.…”
