TL;DR: In this article , the authors attempted a systematic investigation of timing processes in autistic adults using scalar expectancy theory as a theoretical framework, and found no clear evidence for reduced timing performance.
Abstract: It has previously been proposed that autistic people have problems with timing which underlie the behavioral and cognitive differences in the condition. However, the nature of this postulated timing issue has not been well specified and the existing experimental literature has generated mixed findings. In the current study, we attempted a systematic investigation of timing processes in autistic adults using scalar expectancy theory as a theoretical framework. Autistic (n = 58) and nonautistic (n = 91) adults matched for age, sex, and full-scale IQ completed a battery of auditory and visual timing tasks measuring basic subsecond duration perception (temporal discrimination thresholds), clock processes (verbal estimation), clock and memory processes (temporal generalization), and event timing (temporal order judgments). Participants also completed suprasecond retrospective duration estimates where the participant was not warned in advanced that they would be required to make a timing judgment, and questionnaires measuring self-reported timing behaviors in daily life. The groups reported differences on questionnaires, but measures of timing performance were comparable overall. In an exploratory analysis, we performed principal components analysis to investigate the relationship between timing judgments and participants' self-reported social-communicative, sensory, and motor traits. Measures of timing performance were not well correlated with these questionnaire scores. The current study, the largest conducted on time and autism to date, shows no clear evidence for reduced timing performance in autistic adults.

TL;DR: In this paper, a driving simulator was used to evaluate the perception time to critical events in the presence and absence of a navigation system with young (n=18, age=18.8 years SD= 0.7 years) and older drivers (n =15, age =73.1 years, SD=6.1years).
Abstract: Electronic navigational systems allow drivers to receive travel directions while driving, rather than preplanning a route. This additional attentional load on drivers might prove to be hazardous -- particularly for older adults who have greater difficulties multitasking and switching their attention between different parts of the visual field. A driving simulator was used to evaluate the perception time to critical events in the presence and absence of a navigation system with young (n=18, age=18.8years SD= 0.7years) and older drivers (n=15, age=73.1years, SD=6.1years). The results of this study indicated that though older drivers were slower to react to critical events, and both groups were faster to react to pedestrian incursions than sudden light changes, messages from the travel system did not interfere significantly with perception reaction time in either group.

TL;DR: In this article, the conditions under which rhythmical sequences are perceptually organized into groups were studied and the results showed that perceptual grouping of events that span more than 1800 ms is seldom accomplished and that grouping occurs when intervals contain up to seven constituents.

TL;DR: In this article, the subjective passage of time and the perception of duration are modified by functional states of mindfulness, i.e., by attention regulation, body awareness, and emotion regulation.
