Abstract

With the global aging population, an increasing number of researchers are interested in the intertemporal choice issues faced by older adults. Previous studies have examined how age-related differences in time perception affect intertemporal choices. However, the impact of time perception strategy on intertemporal decision-making among older adults remains unclear. This study was designed to examine how timing perception strategy influence decision-making among older adults while also exploring the possible mechanisms. We manipulated timing perception strategy preferences through priming in two experiments (Experiment 1,

Research summary

The paper claims that timing perception strategy influences intertemporal decision-making in older adults. This research is relevant as it explores cognitive processes that may affect decision-making in aging populations, potentially informing interventions that could improve quality of life in older adults.
