Current Research
We rely on external stimuli to act as landmarks in order to conceptualise that a period of time has passed e.g. “my stick-in-the-mud-sundial’s shadow has moved from 60° to 90°, therefore this meeting should be over!”
In a different boat, there has been growing interest in correlating our autonomic fidgeting behaviours with many of our processes that maintain homeostatic equilibrium.
I am interested in investigating whether these autonomic, pseudo-rhythmic and (most importantly) internally-generated behaviours are used as landmarks to assist with our compartmentalisation and thus conceptualisation of the passage of time.
