The phrase "a perceived duration" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing how long something seems to last, often in the context of subjective experiences of time.
Example: "The perceived duration of the meeting felt much longer than the actual time spent."
Alternatives: "an experienced duration" or "a subjective duration".
Larger CNV amplitude would reflect more accumulated pulses that leading to a longer perceived duration.
In our study, the deceptive items elicited higher mean amplitude than the truthful items did, which suggested that the deceptive process required more cognitive endeavors leading to a longer perceived duration.
We next address whether salient standards such as looming-stimuli would induce a distortion of perceived duration in a steady target.
From the perspective of SET, a change in perceived duration can occur because of a change in pacemaker rate, a change in the duration that the mode switch is closed and pulses are fed into the accumulator, or distortions in the translation of information from the accumulator stage to the reference memory.
Indeed, it has been shown repeatedly that an increase in arousal or attention due to a stimulus leads to an overestimation of perceived duration (e.g., Burle & Casini, 2001).
Our results however falsify both predictions as filler anisochrony leads to a decrease (rather than an increase) in perceived duration and distortions are observed only for irregularity in time and not in other properties of the fillers.
One way by which temporal ventriloquism might play a role in the perceived duration of a visual event is that it shifts the subjective on- and offset of a visual event toward the on- and offset of an accompanying auditory stimulus.
Overall, we do not find that irregularity in the properties of isochronous fillers leads to a difference in perceived duration.
Such a bias in perceived duration is not present when nontemporal properties of the fillers are made irregular.
Assuming that the neural response towards fillers is strongest at the beginning of an interval and habituates with repeated exposure (e.g., Polich, 1989) also the finding of a higher impact of stimuli in the beginning compared with the end (e.g., Buffardi, 1971; Adams, 1977) conforms to the idea of a link between perceived duration and neural response magnitude.
