The experience of willing an act arises from interpreting one's thought as the cause of the act. Conscious will is thus experienced as a function of the priority, consistency, and exclusivity of the thought about the action. The thought must occur before the action, be consistent with the action, and not be accompanied by other causes. An experiment illustrating the role of priority found that people can arrive at the mistaken belief that they have intentionally caused an action that in fact they were forced to perform when they are simply led to think about the action just before its occurrence.
意愿行为的体验源于将自己的思想诠释为该行为的原因。因此，有意识的意愿被体验为关于该行为的思想的优先级、一致性和排他性的一种功能。思想必须在行为之前出现，与行为一致，并且没有其他原因伴随。一项说明优先级作用的实验发现，当人们仅仅在一个行为发生之前被引导去思考该行为时，他们可能会错误地认为自己故意导致了这个行为，而实际上他们是被迫执行的。
