Chronoception
Chronoception, often referred to as time perception, is the cognitive ability to perceive and judge temporal aspects of the environment. It includes estimating how long an event lasts, judging the order of events, and sensing rhythmic patterns or temporal flow. Researchers distinguish prospective time perception, which involves monitoring intervals as they unfold, from retrospective time perception, which relies on memory to judge duration after events have occurred.
Key components of chronoception include duration discrimination (and reproduction), temporal order judgments, and the perception of
Neural and cognitive mechanisms implicated in time perception involve a distributed network. The cerebellum is particularly
Methods to study chronoception include duration discrimination tasks, temporal reproduction tasks, and time-order judgments, often comparing
