Psychologists and neuroscientists have studied for years how our perception of time changes and evolves throughout our lives.

For many, the last year might have felt like it flashed by in an instant. It’s as if January was just here. However, for children, last year’s holiday season can seem like a distant memory from ages ago. This difference in perception isn’t just anecdotal there’s a scientific basis for why time seems to speed up as we get older.
