De ce ni se pare că timpul trece mai repede pe măsură ce ne apropiem de pensie? Ce se întâmplă în creier • Newsweek România

As people age, they often feel that time passes more quickly, especially as they approach retirement. This perception is linked to how the brain processes and recalls time. Research indicates that while older individuals may have fewer new memories, their existing memories are often more vivid. A study found that older participants perceived the last decade as shorter due to a reduced ability to form new memories. Additionally, many older adults feel younger than their chronological age, which correlates with better health and a positive outlook on aging. The repetitive nature of adult life contributes to the feeling that time compresses, while new experiences can create more memorable milestones.
