AnnotationThe author recruited 45 subjects (prepubescent aged 6-12, adolescent 13-18, and young adult 20-26) through friends neighbours and work colleagues. Subjects were asked to estimate the ages of individuals portrayed in photographs from the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test Faces sub-test. This short article outlines findings on each group's perceptions of age, and their reasons for their judgements, for example that children judge age based on individual factors. (RH).
