Abstract: We aimed to examine the
effects of socio- demographic factors on performance of adolescents on
intelligence (intelligence quotient IQ) task and short interval time
estimation. 207 healthy randomly selected adolescent including male and females
voluntarily. Participated in the study. Performance on IQ task was tested using
Pass Along Test. Adolescent also produced 10s interval prospectively. A
significant gender difference was obtained in IQ score. The IQ score of high
school students was higher than higher secondary. Adolescent belonging to join
family estimated 10-s interval near to accuracy than nuclear family. IQ score
exhibited a significant negative correlation with age and chronotype, and a
positive association with sunlight exposure duration. The 10-s estimation was
positively correlated with body mass index (BMI). The socio- demographic
factors, chronotype, and sunlight exposure scem to be the confounding
modulators of the cognitive attribute IQ. The family structure and BMI might
manipulate the time perception.
Keywords: Intelligence quotient, short-
interval time estimation, pass along test, socio- demographic, body mass index,
