Memorization of large sets of information changes time perception because it alters subset of stimuli that pop into awareness as salient. Example: learn to recognize all car models and traffic becomes a rosary.

I'd argue rote memorization isn't necessary for this effect, dense and novel experiences affect time perception more incidentally.

I read somewhere that we measure time in distance between firsts. When your life is routine, everything blends together and your memory compresses it away. Large chunks of life swoosh away unnoticed.
But you remember everything new as significant.

Memorization forms a large part of the traditional study of the Torah in part because it makes textual connections easier to see across very large texts. I can’t think of a group with a more atypical concept of time.
