Age and the elderly internal clock - Further evidence for a fundamentally slowed CNSAge-related differences in accuracy of time estimation have been studied. It is found that compared to the younger subjects (mean age 25 years), the older adults (mean age 70 years) consistently overestimated the target 10-sec interval when they had to simultaneously perform an interpolating task (i.e., count backwards by subtractions of three).
