Retrospective psychological studies and theoretical frameworks support the common observation that subjective time accelerates as people age, largely driven by memory structuring and experiential density.
The retrieved papers include recent reviews and biological frameworks specifically investigating life-tempo judgments and retrospective temporal compression in aging. Both paper [2] and paper [9] support the notion that subjective time appears to pass faster with age, providing mechanistic explanations for this phenomenon. The other papers are off-topic or touch on unrelated aspects of aging (such as pain tolerance, sleep, or social media use).
