Have you noticed that younger people seem slower to tell time from "traditional" clock faces?

Hah. I just realized I have a similar problem but in reverse!

I posted this 10 years ago.

Is there a name for this mental shortcut

I got a new stove that has a countdown digital timer. When I BBQ I set it to an hour. If it says 46, I don’t subtract 46 from 60 and get 14. I visualize an analog clock hand say “oh, about 15 minutes”. Google didn’t get me anything but I’m not sure how to word it.
