The feeling of the passage of time linked to individual interoceptive awareness abilities
This experiment examined the judgment of the present passage of time at different response intervals during emotional stimuli presentation, and its relationship with participants' interoceptive awareness and emotions. No difference was observed based on the time scale employed: slowing-down vs. speeding-up scale. Participants perceived time as passing more slowly with negative than positive emotional stimuli. Additionally, the feeling of time slo…
Awe and time perception
The aim of this study was to systematically examine the effect of awe-inducing stimuli on the judgment of time. Three experiments were conducted using temporal bisection tasks in which participants viewed awe-inducing and no awe-inducing images presented for different durations and were asked to judge whether their duration was similar to a short or long anchor duration. Images of panoramic landscapes and images of the faces of well-known and adm…
L’enfant et le temps
Cet article résume les connaissances scientifiques en psychologie sur le développement des différents aspects du temps chez l’enfant. Il relate les travaux montrant que l’enfant a un sens précoce de la durée et du rythme, et explique pourquoi la sensibilité au temps augmente néanmoins avec l’âge. L’acquisition du concept de temps linéaire et universel, et du calendrier, est aussi décrite, ainsi que l’acquisition de la mesure du temps et de la lec…
The feeling of the passage of time against the time of the external clock
What factors underlie our experience of the passage of time? Theoretical consequences
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Vulnerable People Suffering from Depression
This study investigated the difficulties experienced by people suffering from depression in coping with the stressful context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown. Two large samples of the French population were classified on the basis of their depressive symptoms and completed an online questionnaire on their emotions and their behaviors during the lockdown. Results showed that, compared to participants with no or mild mental health-related…
Similar time distortions under the effect of emotion for durations of several minutes and a few seconds
Time does not fly but slow down in old age
This study examined whether the acceleration of the passage of time as people get older increases after 75 years of age. Individuals older and younger than 75 years, living either at home or in an institution, were asked to provide retrospective judgments of the passage of long periods of time, as well as judgments of the current passage of time using the Experience Sampling Methodology, in which a series of alerts are delivered everyday by mobil…
Mindfulness meditation and relaxation training increases time sensitivity
The conscious awareness of time distortions regulates the effect of emotion on the perception of time
Awareness of time distortions and its relation with time judgment
The effect of expectancy of a threatening event on time perception in human adults
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of a threatening stimulus in human adults in a temporal bisection task. In Experiment 1, for two anchor duration conditions (400/800 vs. 800/1600 ms), the participants completed trials in which the probe duration was followed by an aversive stimulus or a nonaversive stimulus. The results showed that the duration was judged longer when the participants expected an aversive rather than a nona…
How liked and disliked foods affect time perception
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence on time perception of pictures showing liked or disliked foods in comparison with a neutral picture. Healthy adults performed a temporal bisection task in which they had to categorize the presentation duration of pictures (neutral, liked, and disliked foods) as more similar to a short (400 ms) or to a long (1,600 ms) standard duration. The data revealed that the presentation duration of f…
Emotion and food. Do the emotions expressed on other people's faces affect the desire to eat liked and disliked food products
Is the desire to eat familiar and unfamiliar meat products influenced by the emotions expressed on eaters’ faces
How emotions colour our perception of time
Anger and time perception in children
The present study investigated age-related variations in judgments of the duration of angry facial expressions compared with neutral facial expressions. Children aged 3, 5, and 8 years were tested on a temporal bisection task using angry and neutral female faces. Results revealed that, in all age groups, children judged the duration of angry faces to be longer than that of neutral faces. Findings are discussed in the framework of internal clock m…
The effect of embodying the elderly on time perception
The present study investigated the perception of stimulus durations represented by elderly faces or by young faces. In a temporal bisection task, participants classified intermediate durations as more similar to a short or a long reference duration. The results showed that the durations represented by elderly faces were less often classified as “long” than the durations represented by young faces. According to internal clock models of time percep…
Embodied temporal perception of emotion
The role of embodiment in the perception of the duration of emotional stimuli was investigated with a temporal bisection task. Previous research has shown that individuals overestimate the duration of emotional, compared with neutral, faces (S. Droit-Volet, S. Brunot, & P. M. Niedenthal, 2004). The authors tested a role for embodiment in this effect. Participants estimated the duration of angry, happy, and neutral faces by comparing them to 2 dur…
Nutritional knowledge and concerns about meat of elderly French people in the aftermath of the crises over BSE and foot-and-mouth
Les différentes facettes du temps
Cet article passe en revue les travaux récents sur le développement des compétences et des connaissances temporelles des enfants. Ceux-ci sont précocement sensibles au temps. Cette sensibilité repose sur une horloge interne, elle-même fonction du développement et des variations de l’attention. C’est progressivement, à partir de leur vie quotidienne que les enfants intègreront la durée, l’attente, l’ordre temporel, la localisation des événements d…
