We investigated the role of age and gender in cognitive estimation abilities. Participants completed two online tasks, where different categories of estimation were assessed (speed estimation by time and distance, and auditory estimation). Data from a total of 18886 participants (9911 females) with ages between 18 and 65 years old were gathered. Results showed variations in the estimation capacity as a function of age, with a slow but progressive decline. Estimates of duration and sound seemed to be more affected by age than estimates of speed and movement. Overall, male participants showed a better performance on both auditory and visual estimation tasks compared to females.
我们研究了年龄和性别在认知估计能力中的作用。参与者完成了两个在线任务，评估了不同类别的估计（通过时间和距离的速度估计，以及听觉估计）。共收集了年龄在 18 至 65 岁之间的 18886 名参与者（9911 名女性）的数据。结果表明，估计能力随着年龄的增长而变化，尽管速度较慢，但呈渐进式下降。与速度和运动估计相比，时间和声音的估计似乎更容易受到年龄的影响。总体而言，男性参与者在听觉和视觉估计任务中的表现均优于女性参与者。
