Adolescents outperform adults in time perception and future orientation tasks.
The experiment compared how teenagers and adults perceive time differently. Teenagers were more accurate at judging time intervals and reproducing durations than adults. Adults tended to overestimate time, while teenagers tended to underestimate it. Adults were more focused on the future, while teenagers were more focused on the present. The study found no clear link between how people view time and how well they judge it.
