Uncovering the representational geometry of durations

2026-03-31

Abstract excerpt

Is there a geometry of time in the human mind? A canonical measure of time in psychology is duration, a time interval quantifiable as a magnitude. Durations have been proposed to be arranged along a mental timeline: a unidimensional, linear, and spatialised representation of time. Here, we asked whether such a mental timeline is sufficient to account for the experience of duration. To address this, we tested the s...
