Time Perception Effects

A perceptual phenomenon describing how people experience the passage, duration or ordering of time, a recognized domain of psychophysics distinct from the physical measurement of time because a person's subjective sense of duration can expand, contract or otherwise depart from clock time under identifiable conditions. This group gathers the time perception phenomena recorded for this atlas, covering documented effects in how duration is judged, how the pace of experienced time shifts with attention, emotion or context, and related temporal perceptual phenomena.
