Stress and training significantly influence human time perception
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 84/100
Multiple studies demonstrate that emotional stress distorts the subjective experience of time, while perceptual training and learning alter temporal processing windows and time discrimination abilities in humans.
