Stressful, joyful, and unexpected events can significantly affect our memories and experience of time. BritHereNow explains how.

Arousal-inducing events tend to lay down memories with a greater number of what are known as temporal markers, [3] which break up the otherwise monotone stream of experiences that get laid down in our memory.

When vacationing away from home, we are initially exposed to a variety of novel, or less familiar, places and undertake various novel, or less familiar, activities. As a break in our routine has an arousal effect on us, we tend to form memories whose content is more densely populated by temporal markers during the first few days of a vacation. Accordingly, we commonly recall the first few days as lasting longer than they actually did.

The reason for this discrepancy may be unrelated to age, however. The findings indicating that younger people recall time as having gone by more quickly have been more recent [3]. Accordingly, some sort of acclimation to the pandemic, coupled with fewer lockdowns and restrictions, may have resulted in fewer distortions to how fast people recall time as having passed.
