Temporal binding refers to the subjective temporal compression between actions and their outcomes. It is widely used as an implicit measure of sense of agency, that is, the experience of controlling our actions and their consequences. One of the most common measures of temporal binding is the paradigm developed by Haggard, Clark and Kalogeras (2002) based on the Libet clock stimulus. Although widely used, it is not clear how sensitive the temporal binding effect is to the parameters of the clock stimulus. Here, we present five experiments examining the effects of clock speed, number of clock markings and length of the clock hand on binding. Our results show that the magnitude of temporal binding increases with faster clock speeds, whereas clock markings and clock hand length do not significantly influence temporal binding. We discuss the implications of these results.

时间绑定是指动作与其结果之间的主观时间压缩。它被广泛用作代理感的隐含衡量标准，即控制我们的行为及其后果的经验。最常见的时间绑定测量方法之一是 Haggard、Clark 和 Kalogeras (2002) 基于 Libet 时钟刺激开发的范式。虽然被广泛使用，但尚不清楚时间结合效应对时钟刺激参数的敏感程度。在这里，我们提出了五个实验来检查时钟速度、时钟标记的数量和时钟指针的长度对绑定的影响。我们的结果表明，时间绑定的幅度随着时钟速度的加快而增加，而时钟标记和时钟指针长度不会显着影响时间绑定。
