Previous studies comparing the effects of looming stimuli and receding stimuli on time perception show conflicting results. In this study, the presentation time of static stimuli was manipulated instead of dynamic stimuli, considering that it is difficult to control size, speed, and presentation time of stimuli simultaneously. Temporal comparison tasks were employed to minimize the possible involvement of confounding variables in the response stage. In addition, the size of the static stimuli was manipulated in order to examine the possibility that the size of the stimuli might influence. Experimental results show that the perceived time increases in the looming stimuli compared to the receding stimuli, and that the direction of the stimuli affects the time perception.
