W. Porteus

William Porteus was a British psychologist known for developing the concept of "interval timing," which explores how humans perceive and estimate time intervals. He studied how people judge elapsed time, especially in tasks where they need to be aware of how much time has passed or when to respond after a certain period. His work contributed to our understanding of cognitive processes involved in timing and has applications in areas like psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral science, helping explain how we perceive the passage of time in everyday life.
