 Past work on schizophrenics indicated a great impairment in time sensitivity and perception leading to overestimation of time intervals.Due to the cognitive impairments that the disorder poses, there have not been any definitive conclusions about the nature of time perception irregularities.A recent study aimed to isolate a genuine time perception disorder (functioning of the internal clock) in schizophrenia by testing id the patients' internal clock runs faster compared to healthy controls.
