People often say that during unpleasant events, eg traumatic incidents such as car
accidents, time slows down (ie time is overestimated). However aversive events can elicit at …

A prominent illusion in time perception is the temporal oddball effect. Specifically, people
overestimate the duration of rare events embedded in a stream of homogenous events. We …

Human time perception is malleable and subject to many biases. For example, it has
repeatedly been shown that stimuli that are physically intense or that are unexpected seem …

The oddball duration effect describes how a rare stimulus amongst a string of standard
stimuli is perceived to have a longer duration than the standards, even if they are of the …

Our experience of time is strikingly plastic: Depending on contextual factors, the same
objective duration can seem to fly by or drag on. Perhaps the most direct demonstration of …

Previous studies have suggested that unexpected stimuli are perceived as being longer
than expected ones (eg, the temporal oddball effect). These studies manipulated stimulus …

Highlights•Specific interference occurs between working memory processing and time
production.•Timing is modulated by difficulty of processes which are also related to complex …

Repeated events can seem shortened. It has been suggested that this results from an
inverse relationship between predictability and perceived duration, with more predictable …

In timing research, repeated stimuli have been shown to have a shortening effect on time
perception compared to novel stimuli. This finding had been attributed to repeated stimuli …

The oddball paradigm is commonly used to investigate human time perception. Trains of
identical repeated events ('standards') are presented, only to be interrupted by a different …
