Attention and expectation likely underlie temporal binding measured using the Libet Clock

Abstract: An interesting finding that has emerged in studies of the sense of agency is that of a perceived compression of the temporal interval between actions and the outcomes they produce. This is generally referred to as temporal binding. Although temporal binding has been studied using various paradigms, possibly the most popular of these is the Libet Clock task. The Libet task is also interesting because it suggests that temporal binding can be decomposed into two components, one relating to actions and the other r… Show more

“…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.…”

“…In fact, there are several situational aspects that may affect the strength of temporal binding; likewise, there are situational contexts that may modulate the quantity of attentional resources needed for task completion. Such situational aspects include practice with the task, predictability of any events within the two-event sequence, or the participants' pre-experimental biases and expectations (e.g., Hon, 2022;Isham & Wall, 2022;Matute et al, 2017;Ruess et al, 2017).…”

“…For example, Haggard and Cole (2007) showed that when the event that required a timing judgement at the end of a trial was held in attention (participants knew which event to be judged before the event actually occurred), the timing report was more accurate than when the event was not held in attention (participants did not know which event to be judged until the event occurred). Hon (2022) recently proposed the idea that the attentional resources required to predict action outcome might be the cause of action binding. In a similar vein, Schwarz and Weller (2023) discussed the possibility that the sharing of attentional resources between two events (action and sound) in the instrumental condition resulted in less attention being paid to the event that required timing judgement as compared to the one event baseline condition, thereby leading to temporal binding.…”

“…In more recent years, a body of research has indicated that temporal binding is based on causation rather than intentional action (e.g., Buehner 2012). This suggests that other factors such as predictability, attentional processes, or perceptual certainty underpin temporal binding (Hon 2023;Klaffehn et al 2021).…”
