Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q2 i? Actions and their consequences are experienced as closer together in subjective time than objective time, but only for voluntary actions. → Frith Chris D 2012

q2 · i? · review · r2

The review reports Haggard et al.'s finding (as cited) that voluntary actions show intentional binding, an compression of subjective interval between action and outcome, absent for involuntary actions. The review links this to experience of agency and sense of responsibility.

"actions and their consequences are experienced as closer together in subjective time than in objective time. Such intentional binding does not occur when the action is involuntary"
