Understanding Time Perception

What is the main difference between time estimation and time perception?

• Time estimation is about how fast the clock ticks, while time perception is about how fast events seem to pass.

• Time estimation is about how fast events seem to pass, while time perception is about how fast the clock ticks.

• Time estimation changes as we age, while time perception remains constant.

• Time perception is only relevant to younger people.

Which hypothesis suggests that time feels faster as we age because we have fewer novel experiences?

• Dopamine hypothesis

• Ratio model

• Novelty hypothesis

• Forward telescoping

According to the ratio model, why does time seem to pass more slowly when you're younger?

• Because you underestimate how long ago events happened.

• Because you have more novel experiences.

• Because you have fewer years to compare to.

• Because you have more dopamine.

What effect does increased dopamine have on time perception in mice, according to research?

• It causes mice to lose track of time completely.

• It has no effect on time perception.

• It makes time seem to pass more quickly.

• It makes time seem to pass more slowly.

What is one suggested way to potentially slow down the perception of time passing quickly?

• Avoiding new experiences.

• Increasing dopamine levels through exciting activities.

• Ignoring the passage of time.

• Focusing only on past memories.
