A new illusion of perceived duration associated with focused spatial attention is reported. Brief flashes in attended locations were perceived to last longer than the same flashes in unattended locations. That illusion was shown to be completely independent of another illusion concerning the perceived onset of a flash, ruling out the possibility that the effect on perceived duration is derivative of a comparison between perceived onset and offset. The illusion also occurred when the event d...

	The Duration of a Brief Event in the Mind's Eye. The Journal of General Psychology ; Directing the mind's eye to a spatial location can enhance visual perception in that location, even in the absence of eye movements (Mach, 1886/1959). Attended objects are seen more clearly (James, 1890/1950) and are detected and identified more readily (Bashinski & Bacharach, 1980; Cheal &
	The subjective size of visual stimuli affects the perceived duration of their presentation Perception and Psychophysics ; The perception of time spent looking at a stimulus is lengthened or shortened when its physical attributes, such as area, differ from those of a comparison stimulus. We measured the perceived presentation duration of a visual object whose apparent area was altered by the Ebbinghaus illusion while
	Time judgments in global temporal contexts Perception and Psychophysics ; With three experiments, we examined the effects of global temporal context on time judgments as gauged by constant errors (CEs) and estimates of a preferred period (P). In Experiment 1, participants in seven different conditions listened to sequences of a given rate (with interonset intervals
	Visual onset expands subjective time Perception and Psychophysics ; We report a distortion of subjective time perception in which the duration of a first interval is perceived to be longer than the succeeding interval of the same duration. The amount of time expansion depends on the onset type defining the first interval. When a stimulus appears abruptly, its
