先前的研究已经记录了感知到的行动时间及其影响的时间吸引力。虽然一些作者认为自愿行动是这种现象的必要条件，但其他人则声称行动与效果之间的因果关系是关键因素。在本研究中，我们研究自愿行动和因果关系作为时间约束的充分必要条件。我们使用了 Michotte 提出的发射效果的变体，其中参与者控制某些区块中的发射刺激。志愿者报告了因果关系评级并估计了两个事件之间的间隔。我们的结果显示因果关系评级和时间估计之间的分离。虽然因果关系评级不受自愿行动的影响，但只有在自愿行动和高因果关系同时存在的情况下才发现时间绑定。我们的结果表明，自愿行动和因果关系对于时间约束的出现都是必要的。
Previous studies have documented temporal attraction in perceived times of actions and their effects. While some authors argue that voluntary action is a necessary condition for this phenomenon, others claim that the causal relationship between action and effect is the crucial ingredient. In the present study, we investigate voluntary action and causality as the necessary and sufficient conditions for temporal binding. We used a variation of the launching effect proposed by Michotte, in which participants controlled the launch stimulus in some blocks. Volunteers reported causality ratings and estimated the interval between the two events. Our results show dissociations between causality ratings and temporal estimation. While causality ratings are not affected by voluntary action, temporal bindings were only found in the presence of both voluntary action and high causality. Our results indicate that voluntary action and causality are both necessary for the emergence of temporal binding.
