<p>People sometimes feel events to be psychologically closer while farther at other times. Caruso et al. (2013) reported the Temporal Doppler Effect (TDE) in which people feel that the past is farther than the future, despite an equivalent objective temporal distance. They hypothesized that movement based on the spatio-temporal metaphor implies an asymmetry in psychological distance in time and explained the TDE from this perspective. However, in this study, we assume that there is another asymmetry between the past and the future related to the TDE, the filling rate of duration. Specifically, we think that asymmetrical perceptions concerning the filling rate of duration between the past and the future could explain the TDE. Previous studies have shown that people tend to perceive durations with more events or changes as longer than those with fewer changes – the filled-duration illusion (FDI). If the TDE is explained by an FDI-like effect, then over a long duration, such as a month or a year, the filling rate of duration should positively predict the estimated psychological distance. We aim to directly replicate the TDE and test a novel explanation for it based on the filling rate of duration.</p>

No need for them to be recommenders of PCI Registered Reports. Please do not suggest reviewers for whom there might be a conflict of interest. Reviewers are not allowed to review preprints written by close colleagues (with whom they have published in the last four years, with whom they have received joint funding in the last four years, or with whom they are currently writing a manuscript, or submitting a grant proposal), or by family members, friends, or anyone for whom bias might affect the nature of the review - see the code of conduct
