“…Temporal dependencies have been found across many different tasks including cognitive control tasks, visual search, lexical decision, word naming, shape and colour discrimination, free choice RT, and racial implicit bias tasks (e.g., Annand & Holden, 2023; Correll, 2008; Gilden, 2001; Holden & Rajaraman, 2012; Marduski & LeBel, 2015; Van Order et al, 2003; Perquin et al, 2023; Simola et al, 2017). Importantly, they seem particularly present in tasks in which the same sensorimotor action is performed repeatedly without any changes in experimental condition, such as tapping to a fixed interval (e.g., Chen et al, 2002; Lemoine et al, 2006; Madison, 2001; Perquin et al, 2023). Because the external environment in such tasks remains unchanged, these dependencies must be driven endogenously – i.e., arising from fluctuations in the internal system.…”
