Inverse Correlation of Time and Score
Inverse Correlation of Time and Score
I've noticed that when I get a good test-run, 95-100% right, the times are faster than my average. This happens across most tests, eg Visual n-back, and it happens during the same session, so it can't be due to different fatigue levels. Do you experience the same, and is this a well-known phenomenon?

Yeah, I've noticed the same. And most of the times this happened I had been expecting times way below average.
Either the act of focussing our minds makes us feel that time has past slowly or negative feedback takes more time to get processed than we perceive..
The following article suggests that the amount of time percieved to have passed is proportional to the amount of information processed in that period: http://www.newscientist.com/channel/being-human/mg18925371.700-teach-your-brain-to-stretch-time.html
Does anyone here feel that time used to pass much more slowly when you were kids? Either I'm losing it or I had a very boring childhood :(

The first article says schizophrenics perceive time faster because of excess dopamine activity. The second says stimulants would increase dopamine and the perceived passage of time to fecilitate concentration. I wonder if this follows the bell curve and a very small dose of any type of stimulant would bring one closer to the 'zone'? or am i oversimplifying?
