Exploring time perception and related neural activity in ADHD and non-ADHD young adults.Viviers, Jean-Pierre 05 September 2014 (has links)
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent disorders diagnosed in
children. However, less is known about the clinical manifestation of the disorder in adults and the impact
thereof on for instance social and occupational functioning. With respect to temporal perception deficits in
both child and adult ADHD, contemporary findings have produced mixed results. In line with this, the
current investigation aimed to identify whether young adults who possess significant ADHD symptomology
have pure time perception deficits and/or differences in self-reported habitual time perception.
Stratification of the ADHD and non-ADHD group was achieved using the Adult ADHD Self-report Scale
(ASRS V1.1). Between group differences in self-reported temporal orientation was investigated using the
Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI). These outcome scores were compared using an ANOVA.
The investigation into pure psychophysical time perception was conducted on a sub sample of that used in
the self-report investigation. The ADHD group consisted of 12 participants whereas the non-ADHD group
consisted of 10 participants. These two groups conducted temporal estimation and temporal discrimination
tasks. Between groups, performances on these tasks were compared using an ANOVA.
In addition to this, electroencephalography (EEG) recordings of frontal, frontal midline and parietal activity
during resting states and task performance were conducted. This allowed for between group comparisons
in absolute and relative power scores at four different frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha and beta) to be
made. A non-parametric Mann-Whitney-U test was used in this regard. The same statistical technique was
used to compare the theta/beta ratios elicited by the resting state and temporal perception conditions.
Results showed that those with significant ADHD symptomology have a characteristically different selfreported
habitual time perception. This is illustrated by negative thoughts towards past and present life
events, and an absence of future orientated behaviour.
In terms of the objective psychophysical measures, the current investigation found no group differences in
estimation or discrimination task performance. Despite this absence of difference, the group with significant
ADHD symptomology showed significantly different EEG recorded neural activity, during resting states and
during task performance. The nature of this activity was in line with a generalised cortical under arousal
hypothesis of ADHD. Taken together, these findings indicate that individuals with significant ADHD
symptomology do not only consciously perceive time differently to those who do not have significant
symptomology, but also show different neuro-physiological processes when performing tasks that require
the utilisation of temporal processing mechanisms. In this way, the findings provide insight into possible
objective measures that could be utilised in ADHD diagnosis.

Cognitive States while Mind Wandering and Associated Alterations in Time PerceptionKelly, Megan Erin 08 1900 (has links)
Time perception is a fundamental aspect of consciousness related to mental health. One cognitive state related to time perception is mind wandering (MW), defined as having thoughts unrelated to the current task. Little research has directly assessed the relationship between these two constructs, despite the overlap in clinical significance and the shared importance of attention for healthy functioning. In the present study, I addressed this by having a sample of 40 adults in the United States complete an online sustained attention to response task remotely while answering thought probes related to thought type and time perception. Multilevel modeling results indicated that cognitive factors were related to the judgements of passage of time (JOPOTs; the feeling that time is passing quickly or slowly) while they had little relation to the estimated duration or the accuracy of those estimations. Specifically, JOPOTs were related to attention to task and emotional valence, and the addition of MW, intentionality, and fixed/dynamic thoughts to the models explained additional variance. Duration estimations and JOPOTs were unrelated to each other, suggesting JOPOTs and duration estimations have different relationships to cognitive factors and should be studied as separate constructs. Additionally, results suggested that the heavy use of dichotomization in the MW literature should be shifted in favor of conceptualizing attention to task as a continuous variable. The difference in effects of MW on estimation durations and JOPOTs specifically is novel finding. This is the first study to evaluate the relationship between MW and both duration estimations and JOPOTs, thus it may advance mechanistic and phenomenological understanding of MW which could in turn inform clinical theories of time perception in disorders including ADHD and depression.
