“…In addition, an alternative account for our findings was the embodied perspective, which insists that metaphors in language not only are used for communication but also represent the internal perceptual information (Barsalou, 2008 ; Sun et al, 2011 ; Zhang et al, 2014 ). Indeed, Nather et al ( 2011 ) indicated that the duration of the posture requiring more movement was perceived longer than the posture requiring less movement.…”

In quantity estimation, people often perceive that the whole is less than the sum of its parts. The current study investigated such an unpacking effect in temporal distance judgment. Our results showed that participants in the unpacked condition judged a given time interval longer than those in the packed condition, even the time interval was kept constant between the two conditions. Furthermore, this unpacking effect persists regardless of the unpacking ways we employed. Results suggest that unpacking a time interval may be a good strategy for lengthening its perceived temporal distance.

“…Studies involving individuals who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, schizophrenia and/or Parkinson’s disease (PD) have revealed that individuals with such conditions often have an impaired time perception. 9 Interest in this area has resulted in the development of several models that were specifically designed to define how the central nervous system analyzes and encodes time perception. These models enable a better understanding of some of the phenomena associated with time, such as those relating to memory and attention.…”

Time perception mechanisms at central nervous system

The five senses have specific ways to receive environmental information and lead to central nervous system. The perception of time is the sum of stimuli associated with cognitive processes and environmental changes. Thus, the perception of time requires a complex neural mechanism and may be changed by emotional state, level of attention, memory and diseases. Despite this knowledge, the neural mechanisms of time perception are not yet fully understood. The objective is to relate the mechanisms involved the neurofunctional aspects, theories, executive functions and pathologies that contribute the understanding of temporal perception. Articles form 1980 to 2015 were searched by using the key themes: neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, theories, time cells, memory, schizophrenia, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and Parkinson’s disease combined with the term perception of time. We evaluated 158 articles within the inclusion criteria for the purpose of the study. We conclude that research about the holdings of the frontal cortex, parietal, basal ganglia, cerebellum and hippocampus have provided advances in the understanding of the regions related to the perception of time. In neurological and psychiatric disorders, the understanding of time depends on the severity of the diseases and the type of tasks.

“…The first two papers (Schreuder et al, 2014 ; Wackermann et al, 2014 ) demonstrated that the judgment of time is systematically distorted with high-arousal/unpleasant emotional stimuli being judged longer than neutral stimuli or low-arousal/pleasant stimuli. In the same line, Zhang et al ( 2014 ) showed that the presentation of Chinese words associated with fast (i.e., galloping, rapid) vs. slow (i.e., gradual) speed produced a lengthening effect in time bisection with the duration of the fast-speed words being judged to last longer than that of the slow-speed words. In addition, Droit-Volet ( 2013 ) showed that this lengthening effect is not specific to time judgment.…”
