Q

Perceptual moment

A

smallest perceptual unit of time (25-250 ms), determined by short term biological clock (regulates body’s metabolic rate and affects sense of passage of time)

Q

Basal Ganglia

A

via dopamine production modulates time perception (agonists – activate receptors – speed up time perception; neuroleptics (antagonists) – slow down passage of time)

A

Ornstein; perceived time duration based on contents of one’s memory – the amount of information picked up consciously and stored in memory determines the perceived amount of time

Q

Information storage size theory

A

number, complexity, and efficiency of coding and storage influence the amount of information that must be processed and determines perception of time (so, more events in an interval = + processing demands = + perceived duration of interval)
