  2. Time perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_perception

    The Kappa effect or perceptual time dilation [55] is a form of temporal illusion verifiable by experiment. [56] The temporal duration between a sequence of consecutive stimuli is thought to be relatively longer or shorter than its actual elapsed time, due to the spatial/auditory/tactile separation between each consecutive stimuli.

  3. Kappa effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kappa_effect

    The kappa effect or perceptual time dilation [1] is a temporal perceptual illusion that can arise when observers judge the elapsed time between sensory stimuli applied sequentially at different locations. In perceiving a sequence of consecutive stimuli, subjects tend to overestimate the elapsed time between two successive stimuli when the ...

  4. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    Time dilation is the difference in elapsed time as measured by two clocks, either because of a relative velocity between them (special relativity), or a difference in gravitational potential between their locations (general relativity). When unspecified, "time dilation" usually refers to the effect due to velocity.

  5. Mental chronometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_chronometry

    Although its mechanistic underpinnings are still debated, the relationship between RT and cognitive ability today is as well-established an empirical fact as any phenomenon in psychology. [3] A 2008 literature review on the mean correlation between various measures of reaction time and intelligence was found to be −0.24 (SD = 0.07). [67]

    Time is a slippery thing, as profound thinkers like physicist Albert Einstein and, well, fictional time traveler Dr. Who plainly understood. Scientists made that point anew on Monday in a study ...

    To test the time dilation part of the TSR massive experiments had to be conducted. In 1971, the Hafele (ha-fi-la) and Keating Experiment flew four atomic clocks on airplanes going around the world ...

  8. Chronostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronostasis

    Chronostasis (from Greek χρόνος, chrónos, 'time' and στάσις, stásis, 'standing') is a type of temporal illusion in which the first impression following the introduction of a new event or task-demand to the brain can appear to be extended in time. [1] For example, chronostasis temporarily occurs when fixating on a target stimulus ...

  9. Telescoping effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescoping_effect

    The former is known as backward telescoping or time expansion, and the latter as is known as forward telescoping. [ 1 ] The approximate time frame in which events switch from being displaced backward in time to forward in time is three years, with events occurring three years in the past being equally likely to be reported with forward ...
