Study of time perception in modern psychology

3051

Abstract

Perception of time is one of the most important functions in human life. Coherence of movements and speech, perception properties and relations of objects in sync communication depend on how precisely the differentiation of temporal fractions occurs. That is why this area is of great interest to researchers. For a long period of study, they have accumulated a big store of knowledge; at present, the challenge for researchers is to build up models that can explain the mechanisms underlying these complex mental functions. One of the directions that can provide an explanation for many aspects of time perception is considered to be a transcendental psychology of A.I. Mirakyan
