The authors studied the temporal dynamics of digit comparison processes by presenting the digits with a stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) of 0, 70, 140, or 210 ms. Experiment 1 used the standard complete paired comparison design that confounds numerical and probabilistic information in the digit presented first. The results showed large effects of SOA that differed characteristically for different digit pairs. These results changed considerably in Experiment 2, using a design that removed any probabilistic contingencies. Experiment 3 examined a form of congruity effect related to the temporal order of the digits. The authors formulated and compared to the data 2 models that differed in their assumptions about the loci of digit-specific and SOA-specific effects: Either the participants use partial numerical advance information to prepare for the suggested response, or they start to process numerical information only after both digits are presented. When probabilistic contingencies were removed, the data favored the latter model.
