    Getting someone to confess to a crime during an interrogation – whether innocent or guilty – means the suspect has been broken. The key to breaking points in interrogation has been linked to changes in the victim's concept of self [3] – changes which may be precipitated by a sense of helplessness, [4] by lack of preparedness or an underlying sense of guilt, [5] as well (paradoxically) as ...

  3. Time perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_perception

    In psychology and neuroscience, time perception or chronoception is the subjective experience, or sense, of time, which is measured by someone's own perception of the duration of the indefinite and unfolding of events. [1] [2] [3] The perceived time interval between two successive events is referred to as perceived duration.

  4. Mental chronometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_chronometry

    Simple reaction time is the motion required for an observer to respond to the presence of a stimulus. For example, a subject might be asked to press a button as soon as a light or sound appears. Mean RT for college-age individuals is about 160 milliseconds to detect an auditory stimulus, and approximately 190 milliseconds to detect visual stimulus.

  5. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    The Jiffy is the amount of time light takes to travel one femtometre (about the diameter of a nucleon). The Planck time is the time that light takes to travel one Planck length. The TU (for time unit) is a unit of time defined as 1024 μs for use in engineering. The svedberg is a time unit used for sedimentation rates (usually

  6. Chronemics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronemics

    Chronemics is the study of the use of time in nonverbal communication, though it carries implications for verbal communication as well. Time perceptions include punctuality, willingness to wait, and interactions. The use of time can affect lifestyles, daily agendas, speed of speech, movements, and how long people are willing to listen.

    For example, these issues of climate change are affecting areas that are distant, such as other countries or continents (space), or that only future generations will be affected (time). [8] The phenomenon of psychological distance then decreases the public's ability to address and mitigate the effects of climate change. [8]

  8. Cognitive complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_complexity

    Cognitive complexity is a psychological characteristic or psychological variable that indicates how complex or simple is the frame and perceptual skill of a person.. A person who is measured high on cognitive complexity tends to perceive nuances and subtle differences while a person with a lower measure, indicating a less complex cognitive structure for the task or activity, does not.

  9. Psychological refractory period - Wikipedia

    Stimulus onset asynchrony, the time that lapses between the presentations of the two stimuli, acts as the independent variable in this paradigm, and the reaction time to the second stimulus acts as the dependent variable. [1] Figure 1. Model of the central bottleneck accounting for the psychological refractory period.
