People often try to complete tasks as soon as possible, even at the expense of extra effort—
a phenomenon called precrastination (Rosenbaum et al., 2014). Because precrastination is …

Perception during action is optimized by sensory predictions about the likely consequences
of our movements. Influential theories in social cognition propose that we use the same …

Expectancy for upcoming action requirements is a fundamental prerequisite for human
control of action. In the research reported here, we investigated which part of cognitive …

Previous work suggested the association between intentionality and the reported time of
action was exclusive, with intentionality as the primary facilitator to the mental time …

A computer joystick is an efficient and cost-effective response device for recording
