Overview

Investigates interoceptive abilities in adolescents and adults, suggesting implications for mental health.

Key Points

  • The study aims to explore interoceptive dimensions in adolescents compared to adults to understand developmental changes.
  • Participants included 54 adolescents aged 12-14 and 50 adults aged 25-34.
  • Both age groups completed the Heartbeat Counting Task to assess heartbeat detection ability.
  • A questionnaire was used to measure focus on different bodily sensations.
  • Localization of bodily sensations during the task was analyzed.
  • No significant group differences were found in accuracy during the Heartbeat Counting Task.
  • Both age groups showed similar localization patterns, focusing on the chest.
  • Adolescents had lower metacognitive awareness of cardiac signal perception.
  • Adolescents reported higher confidence in detecting bodily sensations compared to adults.
