The ability to change their pace is often a job requirement for employment positions that do not seem to require attention to abstract information.
While doing activities, a sense of time is compared to the speed of one's actions. The speed of motor actions provides internal cues. The effects of their actions are external and must be perceivable.
To evaluate ability to change their pace, quick drying products have been used. Select quick drying paints or glues that change slowly enough to compare their drying rate with your own adjustments in motor actions. With normal adults, record the time it takes to learn to make the adjustments in a project that takes you at least 10 minutes.

If less than half can learn to do it in five minutes, the project was too complicated to learn by a person with the reduced energy of a cognitive disability.
To hurry up or slow down, the person must be able to simultaneously estimate the passage of time on the clock and the speed of their movements, which can be done within ACL 5.4. However, sustained attention to improving effects seems to be limited.
