Temporal Cognition.

Timing of relatively short durations is an essential cognitive function that influences many aspects of humans' daily behavior. Human duration judgments often show large influences of content and context, as well as individual variability, such as age and sex-related differences. At first glance, many findings seem contradictory. The key to navigating in the stormy sea of research findings is to realize that a complete understanding of any kind of temporal experience occurs only if one considers complex interactions among contextual factors.
