Time perception is impaired in adult ADHD. Since the term time perception subsumes different constructs, including time estimation, time reproduction, time production, and duration discrimination, it remains open whether certain domains are more affected than other domains in adult ADHD. The aim of this explorative review is to present the current state of research on time perception in adult ADHD by analysing studies from the past 10 years. A review of the literature addressing adult ADHD time perception, time estimation, and time reproduction was performed. The search strategy was conducted by using the databases "PubMed", "Medline", and "PSYNDEX". The results of the present review indicate that the number of studies on time perception in adult ADHD is very scarce. Moreover, the main investigated domains of time perception in the past decade were time estimation, time reproduction and time management. Whereas some of the found studies were able to demonstrate a distinct deficit in time estimation, time reproduction and time management other studies were unable to demonstrate a clear association between ADHD and time estimation and time reproduction deficits. However, the diagnostic protocols, study design, and methodology varied between studies. Further studies on time estimation and time reproduction need to be carried out.
时间感知在成人 ADHD 中受损。由于时间感知包含不同的结构,包括时间估计、时间再现、时间生成和持续时间辨别,因此尚不清楚在成人 ADHD 中,某些领域比其他领域受到的影响更大。本探索性综述的目的是通过分析过去 10 年的研究,展示成人 ADHD 时间感知的研究现状。对成人 ADHD 时间感知、时间估计和时间再现的文献进行了综述。文献检索策略在“PubMed”、“Medline”和“PSYNDEX”数据库中进行。本综述的结果表明,关于成人 ADHD 时间感知的研究数量非常有限。此外,过去十年中时间感知的主要研究领域是时间估计、时间再现和时间管理。虽然一些研究能够证明在时间估计、时间再现和时间管理方面存在明显的缺陷,但其他研究未能证明 ADHD 与时间估计和时间再现缺陷之间存在明确的关联。然而,研究之间的诊断方案、研究设计和方法学存在差异。需要进一步开展关于时间估计和时间再现的研究。
