TL;DR: The results reveal that individual variation across domain-general and domain-specific levels of organization plays a steering role in how one predicts, perceives and experiences time, which accordingly impacts on cognition and behavior.
Abstract: Time is a fundamental dimension of our behavior and enables us to guide our actions and to experience time such as predicting collisions or listening to music. In this study, we investigate the regulation and covariation of motor timing and time perception functions in left- and right-handers who are characterized by distinct brain processing mechanisms for cognitive-motor control. To this purpose, we use a combination of tasks that assess the timed responses during movements and the perception of time intervals. The results showed a positive association across left- and right-handers between movement-driven timing and perceived interval duration when adopting a preferred tempo, suggesting cross-domain coupling between both abilities when an intrinsic timescale is present. Handedness guided motor timing during externally-driven conditions that required cognitive intervention, which specifies the relevance of action expertise for the performance of timed-based motor activities. Overall, our results reveal that individual variation across domain-general and domain-specific levels of organization plays a steering role in how one predicts, perceives and experiences time, which accordingly impacts on cognition and behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of the interaction of environmental and task-induced attentional focus on time perception, specifically awareness of the time flow, was examined, and the results suggest that natural environments increase time awareness unless we focus our attention on a task.
Abstract: Funding information German Research Foundation, Grant/Award Number: 197396619–SFB 1015 Summary In the present study, we examined the impact of the interaction of environmental and task-induced attentional focus on time perception, specifically awareness of the time flow. We tested 48 participants in either a natural or urban setting over three 25to 35-min sessions. We manipulated the within-subjects factor task by means of two tasks—one requiring directed attention on the task itself, the other undirected attention on the environment—alongside a control condition with no specific task. We measured time awareness, passage of time judgments, felt time judgments, and estimated time as dependent variables. For time awareness, we found an interaction between environment and task: in the natural environment, only a task requiring directed attention reduced time awareness; whereas, in the urban environment, both tasks reduced time awareness compared to the control condition. The results suggest that natural environments increase time awareness unless we focus our attention on a task.

TL;DR: This study investigated whether distracters could be utilized as temporal cues to support task-related processing in a continuous auditory stimulation paradigm and suggested that despite triggering distraction-related processes, distracter could be integrated into the task-behavior, and could be utilize as task-supportive cues.

TL;DR: It is proposed that 'distrusting the future' is accompanied by 'trusting the present', leading to the experiences of time dilation when depressed or hopeless, and a relative difference model of how hopelessness dilates, and arousal accelerates, the rate of experienced time.

TL;DR: The analysis indicated that the dyslexic children tended to be far more outer- and inner-directed with regard to their time allocations and generally perceived time as a linking of past, present, and future events.
Abstract: The perception and allocation of time by individuals is closely associated with their observed behaviors in life. A dyslexic child presents unique and interesting problems to educational researchers, teachers, and parents since the information-processing style differs from that of normal children. This study examined not the cognitive understanding of time or problems in measuring time (dyschronometria), but the perception and allocation of time by 26 normal and 21 dyslexic children between the ages of 10 years and 17 years old. These findings were measured by a specifically designed time allocation and perception questionnaire and a circles test. The analysis indicated that the dyslexic children tended to be far more outer- and inner-directed with regard to their time allocations and generally perceived time as a linking of past, present, and future events.
