Individuals perceive subjective time at demonstrably different rates
Multiple studies demonstrate that individuals experience and estimate subjective time at measurably different rates, influenced by factors such as sensory processing, attention, and cognitive traits.
The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that individuals experience and estimate subjective time differently, showing links to various cognitive, sensory, and behavioral characteristics without any contradictory evidence.

Paper 0 demonstrates individual differences in temporal binding windows that predict variations in duration estimation.
