Abstract

Cognitive science is emerging as one of the engaging areas of research in the domain of neurosciences, human behavior and chronobiology. Mechanisms of short-term time perception continue to baffle scientists in these disciplines. The wide arrays of methodologies used to ascertain human abilities to estimate short-time intervals give rise to diverse interpretation of research outputs. The frequently used terminologies, viz., over- or under-estimation/production or reproduction seem to be the profound cause for misinterpretation and misconception of results. In this article we elucidate research carried out on short-interval time estimation and resolve conceptual misapprehensions on its underlying mechanisms.
