Dissociative Disorders01:27

Dissociative Disorders

195
Dissociative disorders represent complex psychological conditions characterized by disruptions in consciousness, memory, identity, or perception. These disruptions cause individuals to experience a disconnection from their thoughts, emotions, and memories. The phenomenon is not merely an occasional lapse in attention but a profound alteration in mental functioning that can severely impact daily life.

Dissociative Identity Disorder01:30

Dissociative Identity Disorder

216
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), previously termed multiple personality disorder, is a complex psychological condition characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states. Each identity exhibits unique patterns of behavior, voice, and mannerisms and may possess separate memories and emotional responses. The alternating control between identities can result in memory gaps and challenges in recalling daily activities, often exacerbating the individual's...

Dissociative Amnesia01:21

Dissociative Amnesia

194
Dissociative amnesia is a complex psychological condition that manifests as an inability to recall personal information, often tied to traumatic or stressful events. Unlike general amnesia, individuals with this condition retain the ability to perform routine activities and procedural tasks, such as operating a phone or navigating public transportation, yet experience profound gaps in autobiographical memory. These lapses may encompass significant life events, such as suicide attempts or...

Positive Symptoms of Schizophrenia: Hallucinations and Delusions

234
Schizophrenia is a complex mental health disorder that can manifest with various positive symptoms, including thought, movement, and behavior disorders. These symptoms significantly disrupt cognitive and motor functions, leading to profound effects on an individual's ability to engage with the world.
Thought Disorders
Disorganized and unusual thought processes mark thought disorders in schizophrenia. One key feature is disorganized speech, where an individual's conversation includes...

Altered States of Awareness01:06

Altered States of Awareness

556
Altered states of consciousness represent significant deviations from one's normal mental state. These deviations can range from subtle changes in awareness to profound transformations in perception, thought processes, and sensory experiences. Altered states of consciousness can be triggered by various factors, including drug use, meditation, hypnosis, illness, or even intense fatigue.
The ingestion of substances like stimulants or hallucinogens leads to chemical alterations in the brain...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder01:27

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

133
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events,...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Chronobiology

Background:

  • Accurate time perception is crucial for human behavior and cognition, akin to spatial navigation.
  • External cues (exogenous factors like time of day) and internal states (endogenous factors like experienced duration) influence our sense of time.
  • Deprivation of external temporal landmarks significantly impairs temporal orientation and internal time representation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review experimental research on how isolation protocols affect human temporal awareness.
  • To address the scarcity of empirical data on human time perception under isolation.
  • To contextualize temporal distortions observed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Main Methods:

  • Literature assessment of experimental studies investigating human temporal cognition.
  • Focus on protocols involving varying degrees of isolation.
  • Analysis of subjective and objective measures of time awareness.

Main Results:

  • Isolation protocols, by removing external temporal cues, demonstrably reduce temporal orientation.
  • Reduced external landmarks lead to difficulties in forming accurate endogenous representations of time.
  • Empirical data on human temporal mapping under isolation is limited but suggests significant disruption.

Conclusions:

  • Human temporal cognition is highly dependent on external temporal landmarks.
  • Isolation significantly impacts the ability to orient in time and maintain an accurate internal sense of time.
  • Understanding these effects is vital for interpreting temporal distortions during events like pandemics.
