Perceived Differently

In particular, we are aware of the temporal relations between events, and we perceive events as being either simultaneous or successive. We also have a perception of the sequence or order of these events. Our sense of time seems to have originated as a product of human evolution , and it is not a purely automatic or innate process, but a complex activity that we develop and actively learn as we grow.

Although psychologists believe that there is a neurological system governing the perception of time, it appears not to be associated with specific sensory pathways, but rather uses a highly distributed system in the brain see the section on Biopsychology. Neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine adrenaline are integrally involved in our perception of time, although the exact mechanism is still not well understood. When the brain receives new information from the outside world, the raw data does not necessarily arrive in the order needed to process it properly.

The brain therefore reorganizes the information and presents it in a more easily understandable form. In the case of familiar information, very little time is needed for this process, but new information requires more processing and this extra processing tends to makes time feel elongated. The more familiar the task, the less new information the brain needs to process, and the more quickly time seems to pass. To some extent also, the perception of time is associated with other cognitive processes such as attention.

It has been suggested that there is usually a delay in time perception in schizophrenic patients compared to normal subjects. These defects in time perception may play a part in the hallucinations and delusions experienced by schizophrenic patients according to some studies. Some researchers suggest that "abnormal timing judgment leads to a deficit in action attribution and action perception. The perception of time is temporarily suspended during sleep , or more often during REM sleep.

This can be attributed to the altered state of consciousness associated with sleep that prevents awareness of the surroundings , which would make it difficult to remain informed of the passing of time — new memories are rarely made during sleep. Therefore, upon waking up in the morning a person subjectively feels no time has passed but reasons that many hours have elapsed simply because it is now light outside.

The passing of time must be inferred by observations of objects e. So, time may feel as passing "faster" during sleep due to the lack of reference points. Another experience sometimes reported is a long dream seeming to go on for hours when it actually lasted only a few seconds or minutes. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

One classic psychological experiment showed slower reaction times and less accurate answers when a deck of playing cards reversed the color of the suit symbol for some cards e. Philosopher Andy Clark explains that perception, although it occurs quickly, is not simply a bottom-up process where minute details are put together to form larger wholes. Instead, our brains use what he calls ' predictive coding '. It starts with very broad constraints and expectations for the state of the world, and as expectations are met, it makes more detailed predictions errors lead to new predictions, or learning processes.

Clark says this research has various implications; not only can there be no completely "unbiased, unfiltered" perception, but this means that there is a great deal of feedback between perception and expectation perceptual experiences often shape our beliefs, but those perceptions were based on existing beliefs [78]. Indeed, predictive coding provides an account where this type of feedback assists in stabilizing our inference-making process about the physical world, such as with perceptual constancy examples.
