Time processing in the millisecond-to-seconds range is essential to many daily activities, including dancing, playing sports, and music. A key question in the field is how older adults process time within this range, as previous studies have yielded inconclusive results. In a recent lifespan study, we addressed this question by examining a large sample of participants ranging from 20 to 85 years, who completed two timing tasks in a single session, one requiring implicit (incidental use of time) and the other explicit (deliberate use of time) processing. Our findings corroborate previous research by showing age-related differences only in explicit, but not in implicit timing, offering valuable insight into how timing abilities change across the lifespan.
