Abstract
This paper investigates the effect of image memorability on time perception and it considers the role of implied motion. Research in image memorability is a relatively new subject in cognitive psychology, it has never before been researched in the context of time processing. We hypothesize that high image memorability will cause an overestimation in time and we expect implied motion to reinforce this effect. An experiment is done by means of a temporal bisection task. The experiment is a within-subjects design where fifty subjects participated, all of them recruited via SONA. The subjects estimated the duration of 154 displayed images resulting in processed data of bisection points per participant and per condition. Three participants were excluded from the data. A Repeated Measures ANOVA yielded no significant results for the main effect of image memorability and time perception (p = .096). Also for the moderating effect of implied motion is no significant difference found (p = .723). These results might be explained by the lack of power of the experiment. An additional exploratory analysis is done to explore the relation between implied motion and time perception, when not controlled for image memorability. These results suggest an overestimation of time for images with implied motion (p = .01), but this inquires further consideration. Solely on the basis of this study, we can not conclude an effect of image memorability and implied motion on time perception but it is an interesting starting point for further research.
