A context-induced illusion in human visual judgments of temporal order, termed the induced asynchrony effect (IAE), is reported. It consists of an apparent ordering in time of 2 simultaneous light onsets, produced by the preceding, asynchronous offsets of 2 other lights. The joint effect of a real stimulus onset asynchrony and a preceding stimulus offset asynchrony on judgments of onset order appears to be additive, given a Gaussian transformation of response probability. This result is consistent with a simple statistical decision model, which provides a conceptual framework for drawing inferences from temporal order judgment data. Certain interpretations of such models are not empirically testable on the basis of temporal order data alone. An attempt is made to relate the IAE to 3 other dynamic perceptual phenomena; all 4 effects may reflect a tendency of observers to perceive the velocity of apparent motion as being constant. Questions raised by the demonstration of the IAE are discussed, and directions for further research are suggested.
