In order to keep up with a changing environment, mobile organisms must be capable of deciding both where and when to move. This precision necessitates a strong sense of time, as otherwise we would fail in many of our movement goals. Yet, despite this intrinsic link, only recently have researchers begun to understand how these two features interact. Primarily, two effects have been observed: movements can bias time estimates, but they can also make them more precise. Here we review this literature and propose that both effects can be explained by a Bayesian cue combination framework, in which movement itself affords the most precise representation of time, which can influence perception in either feedforward or active sensing modes.

为了跟上不断变化的环境，移动生物必须能够决定移动的地点和时间。这种精确性需要强烈的时间感，否则我们的许多运动目标都会失败。然而，尽管存在这种内在联系，研究人员直到最近才开始了解这两个特征如何相互作用。主要观察到两种影响：移动可以使时间估计产生偏差，但它们也可以使它们更精确。在这里，我们回顾了这篇文献，并提出这两种效应都可以用贝叶斯线索组合框架来解释，在该框架中，运动本身提供了最精确的时间表示，这可以影响前馈或主动传感模式下的感知。
