Time seems to speed up as we get older - is that partly due to events/neural states lasting longer?

Very happy to see this published! Registered report led by the fantastic Sophie Sowden-Carvalho (and with @thepsychologist.bsky.social & @brainapps.bsky.social) looking at effort-based prosocial decision-making in autistic and non-autistic adults. tinyurl.com/3upvukt2

Back @brocku.ca for a view days to work on a project related to our recent publication on how neural states change with age during naturalistic viewing: www.nature.com/articles/s42...
In our new study we look at eye movements during movie-watching and whether it relates to memory for the movie.
The brain represents the world around us as a series of neural states - stable patterns of activity that change as we move from one event to the next.
New paper by @selmalugtmeijer.bsky.social showing that neural states get longer as people age. #PsychSciSky

Talking at the poster session about how momentarily fluctuations in fatigue influence willingness to exert effort for reward in the future.

Our new study shows that accelerated long-term forgetting occurs more often in stroke patients than in age-matched controls. After one week, 35% showed marked forgetting despite normal recall after 30 min. Important for neuropsychological diagnostics.
