abstract="230 adults estimated the ages at which children and adolescents ages 1 to 16 years could perform certain tasks like,&quot;Say the months of the year backwards&quot;and&quot;Ride a bicycle&quot;. Nearly two-thirds of the participants consistently underestimated the age at which young people could perform. A total&quot;correct&quot;score, computed for each participant, formed a normal distribution. This score was used as a criterion measure for a series of multiple regressions. The strongest predictor was the extent to which people had regular contact with children, indicating the role of experience.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
