Article Synopsis
- There is strong evidence indicating that people with developmental disabilities, especially autism, have problems with time perception, seen in both humans and animal models.
- The study specifically looked at FMR1 knockout (KO) rats to explore timing precision and decision-making regarding rewards, finding that these rats had reduced timing precision and favored smaller, immediate rewards.
- The results suggest that timing issues are common in those with developmental disabilities and may have implications for future interventions aimed at improving timing perceptions in affected individuals.
