Sense of agency based on action and causation: The mechanism of intentional binding effect for voluntary action

Abstract

The intentional binding effect refers to subjective compression in time between a voluntary action and its delayed outcome. Sense of agency based on action and causation are two explanations for this effect. We first introduced the mechanisms underlying sense of agency related to action and sense of agency related to causation to interpret the intentional binding effect through providing corresponding evidence from both behavioral and neural perspectives. Meanwhile, we discussed the relationship between these two explanations for the intentional binding effect. We provide two perspectives regarding the relationship between the two factors to explain intentional binding effect. 主动动作的时间压缩效应指主动动作到动作结果之间存在时间上的主观压缩。基于动作的主动控制感和因果关系的主动控制感是该效应的两种理论解释。本文首先分 别介绍动作的主动控制感和因果关系的主动控制感,并从行为和脑机制角度提供相应的证据解释时间压缩效应的机制。同时,本文提出了在主动动作时间压缩效应中 动作的主动控制感与因果关系的主动控制感之间可能存在的序列加工和平行加工的关系。
