Research has suggested the feeling of awe has the ability to expand one's perceptions of time availability. Awe can be characterized as an experience of immense perceptual vastness that coincides with an increase in focus. Consequently, it is conceivable that one's temporal perception would slow down when experiencing awe. [86]
Dyschronometria, also called dyschronia, is a condition of cerebellar dysfunction in which an individual cannot accurately estimate the amount of time that has passed (i.e., distorted time perception). It is associated with cerebellar ataxia, [1] [2] when the cerebellum has been damaged and does not function to its fullest ability.
The production of speech is a highly complex motor task that involves approximately 100 orofacial, laryngeal, pharyngeal, and respiratory muscles. [2] [3] Precise and expeditious timing of these muscles is essential for the production of temporally complex speech sounds, which are characterized by transitions as short as 10 ms between frequency bands [4] and an average speaking rate of ...
Reports of the effects of cannabis on time perception can be found first in arts and literature, and then in medical reports and studies. Notable discussions of the effects occur in "Le Club des Hachichin" (1846), a work by French poet Théophile Gautier, and in Les Paradis Artificiels (1860), a work by Charles Baudelaire.
Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity states that the faster something travels, the slower time appears to move relative to a stationary observer. To test the time dilation part of the TSR ...
It can cause a visible slowing of physical and emotional reactions, including speech and affect. [ 1 ] Psychomotor retardation is most commonly seen in people with major depression and in the depressed phase of bipolar disorder ; [ 2 ] it is also associated with the adverse effects of certain drugs, such as benzodiazepines .

Stuttering can develop, generally resulting in slowed-down speech with a few letter enunciation errors (f, v, s, z). [40] At the beginning of this stage toddlers tend to be missing function words and misunderstand how to use verb tenses. Over time they start including functional words, pronouns, and auxiliary verbs. [41]
Official outrage soon dissipated, however, and widespread policy change is still slow in coming. Programs modeled after the “therapeutic community,” seeking to break the spirit of addicts through punitive measures, remain influential to this day; humiliation, degradation, and the drive to “reprogram” addicts are still part of mainstream ...
