Is it called "not hanging up a clock" in the literature? Is it just about clocks and hanging or not hanging them? Can the same effect occur without a clock involved? Does it describe something related to time perception and psychology, more general than Malls and their clocks? Is this Mall case just one specific example of that type of thing? If yes, then perhaps the more abstract name is more fitting.
