Resumen:Time perception, especially duration estimation, plays a crucial role in the organization of behavior across development. Despite its importance, the cognitive mechanisms underlying impaired duration estimation remain insufficiently explored. Recently, the role of cognitive functions, such as executive functions, has been demonstrated in duration estimation. In the present study, the duration estimation, inhibition, shifting, and processing speed performances of participants with idiopathic mild intellectual disability (MID) without associated disorders (N = 79), aged between 10 and 20 years, were compared with those of typical participants (N = 81). The results show that the individuals with MID had difficulties in all cognitive functions (with the exception of one shifting task). Moreover, our results highlight—for the first time—the role of inhibition abilities and processing speed not only in the increase in duration estimation abilities with age, but also in the deficits observed in MID. To conclude, deficits in duration estimation in MID are due to an impairment of other cognitive functions.
