Researchers at Eötvös Loránd University have investigated whether the perception of time changes with age, and if so, how, and why we perceive the passage of time differently. Their study was published in the journal Scientific Reports. Time can do tricks. Many of us experienced the illusion that
Time can play tricks on us, causing the same period to feel different depending on our age. For example, while the summers of our childhood felt like they lasted forever, the same three months now seem to fly by in the blink of an eye.
The results showed a strong bias in each age group but for pre-kindergarteners, surprisingly, in the opposite direction. The result is unexpected because none of the biological models of time perception could have predicted it. How can we interpret this result? Biological models of time perception fall under two categories: pacemaker-like neurons in the brain and neurons that display a declining firing rate with time. Still, “who” would interpret those signals in the brain remains elusive. Both model classes assume a continuous age-dependent improvement with age. However, this is not what the researchers found.
