Developmental Trajectories of Internally and Externally Driven Temporal Prediction
Fig 1
The Temporal Cueing task (a) was purposely designed to induce externally driven temporal prediction (E–TP). The visual cue provided fixed temporal information concerning the SOA duration, which could be short (left panel) or long (right panel), according to the colour of the cue. By contrast, the Neutral Cueing task (b) was specifically designed to induce internally driven temporal prediction (I–TP). In this case participants never knew in advance the duration of the SOA, which could nevertheless have the same short or long duration than in the Temporal Cueing task.
