Abstract
It is theorised that distortions to time result from changes in physiological arousal. We measured physiological arousal during verbal estimation tasks; participants judged the duration of high and low arousal positive, negative and neutrally valenced IAPS images. SNS reactivity was predicative of perceived duration for high arousal negatively valenced stimuli.
