Zaman algısının duyusal motor mekanizmaları: Öngörü mekanizmaları üzerinden bir zamansal kısalma incelemesi

Temporal binding refers to the perception that two events, which are related in terms of their cause and effect, occur closer together in time than they actually do. This effect not only creates a perceived cause-and-effect relationship but also compresses the time interval between events. Since the influential article on the intentional binding effect was published by Haggard, Clarke, and Kalogeras in 2002, researchers put forth several necessary conditions for the explanation of the effect. While proximity in time and predictability play a crucial role, it is primarily causality that determines the outcome rather than intentional action. According to Buehner (2012), causality is the fundamental factor behind the effect. Despite the productive work done in this area, there is still much to be discovered about the mechanisms that underlie temporal binding. In this thesis, we aim to investigate two main aspects of temporal binding. Firstly, we aim to determine whether the act of performing an action alone is sufficient to induce temporal binding or if outcome prediction plays a critical role. To achieve this, we conduct a series of experiments to compare congruent and incongruent outcomes, with the aim of uncovering the underlying mechanisms that cause this intriguing time distortion. Secondly, we examine the various factors that contribute to temporal binding. In addition to outcome prediction, we investigate the role of temporal control, which is the ability to dictate timing, in shaping our perception of time. We aim to understand how different factors affect temporal binding by analyzing each component.
