Sense of agency (SoA) is the feeling of being the author of given actions and their effects. Recent works have investigated the cue integration approach to agency, according to which different predictive and inferential cues form SoA. In the current research we focus on how two such cues, i.e. accuracy of sensorimotor prediction and prior causal belief, influence SoA measured by temporal binding (TB) and questionnaires. Our results show that whereas learnt action effects produce normal TB and explicit agency, unexpected oddball effects produce enhanced TB but diminished explicit agency. Increased binding was modulated by temporal prediction, but not by identity prediction. A few interpretations of the results are given, including cue integration and pre-activation mechanisms. The research casts new light on the mechanisms and dynamics of TB and adds to the evidence for discrepancies between SoA measures.
主体感(SoA)是对给定行为及其影响的作者感。最近的研究探讨了主体感的线索整合方法,根据该方法,不同的预测和推理线索形成主体感。在当前的研究中,我们专注于两种这样的线索,即感觉运动预测的准确性和先前的因果信念,如何影响通过时间绑定(TB)和问卷测量的主体感。我们的结果表明,习得的动作效果产生正常的 TB 和明确的主体感,而意外的异常效果产生增强的 TB 但减弱的明确主体感。绑定的增加受时间预测的调节,但不受身份预测的调节。给出了对结果的几种解释,包括线索整合和前激活机制。该研究为 TB 的机制和动态提供了新的视角,并为主体感测量之间的差异提供了更多证据。
