how long you believe that experience to have lasted
Meaning, the number of memories and data you record on your brain has a direct impact on how long you believe that experience to have lasted.Have you ever heard a person recount what it's like to be in a car accident?Although automotive accidents typically last seconds,those involved often say they felt the accident lasted far longer.Time perception can also account for why your childhood may have seem to have lasted forever.By adulthood, a year can slip by in a heartbeat,but children record more data onto their brains.This occurs because many of the experiences we have as children are new and unfamiliar to us.The stack of encoded memories on your brain is so dense that reading them back makes you believe your experiences must have taken forever.
