“…Controlled actions especially seem to draw attentional processes easily, in spatial as well as temporal dimensions (e.g., Schaaf et al, 2022;Schneider & Shiffrin, 1977;Wirth et al, 2018), and indeed attention seems an important factor in establishing metacognitive phenomena accompanying actions as well, such as the sense of agency (Cheyne et al, 2009;Hon, 2017). In further support of our interpretation, a recent review article also focuses on attentional processes as a defining aspect of temporal binding (Hon, 2022). Thus, current evidence and theories agree with our interpretation that the binding effects we demonstrated in all two-event sequences, be they actioneffect sequences (Operant Classic task) or two-stimulus sequences (Baseline Attention task), compared to single events (Baseline Classic or Baseline Memory task), may be due to changes in attentional focus across time.…”
