We selectively review the progress of research on the psychology of time during the past 125 years, starting with the publication of the first English-language psychological journal, The American Journal of Psychology. A number of important articles on the psychology of time appeared in this journal, including the widely cited early article by Nichols (1891). The psychology of time is a seminal topic of psychological science, and although it entered a phase of decline and even moribund neglect, the past several decades have seen a prominent renaissance of interest. This renewed vigor represents the rebirth of the recognition of the centrality of the psychology of time in human cognition and behavior. Our selective overview highlights a number of strands of progress and how they have helped lead to the present, in which the cognitive neuroscience of time and timing in the brain is one of the most fervent and fertile modern areas of brain research. We also discuss some remaining challenges and potential lines of progress.
我们有选择地回顾了过去125年里时间心理学的研究进展,始于第一本英文心理学杂志《美国心理学杂志》的出版。该杂志发表了许多关于时间心理学的重要文章,包括尼科尔斯(1891年)那篇被广泛引用的早期文章。时间心理学是心理科学的一个开创性主题,尽管它曾进入衰落甚至濒于被遗忘的阶段,但在过去几十年里,人们对它的兴趣显著复兴。这种新的活力代表着对时间心理学在人类认知和行为中的核心地位的重新认识。我们的选择性综述突出了一些进展脉络以及它们如何引领我们走到现在,在当下,大脑中时间和计时的认知神经科学是大脑研究中最活跃且成果丰硕的现代领域之一。我们还讨论了一些尚存的挑战和潜在的进展方向。
