对时间的感知
Perceived Age
Different people have different perceptions of time.
A study asked different age groups to mentally count 120 seconds. People under 30 averaged 115 seconds; those over 50 just 87 seconds. That’s a 24% reduction in perceived time. This shift in perception isn’t just random; it’s rooted in the complex interplay of our brain’s neurotransmitters, primarily dopamine.
When I count to 120 seconds, it actually takes 96 seconds. This means I perceive time like a middle-aged person.
Adjusted for the subjective increase in how fast time passes, life is half over by 23 or 24. So Don’t waste time.
