The subjective perception of the passage of time varies due to cognitive mechanisms
Multiple empirical studies confirm that the subjective perception of the passage of time is modulated by underlying cognitive mechanisms, including working memory, attention, and object recognition.
The retrieved literature contains multiple experimental studies demonstrating that cognitive mechanisms such as working memory, attention, and perceptual recognition directly influence and mediate subjective time perception.
