Recent research has demonstrated that when perceiving a collision causal beliefs can influence the perception of temporal order (Bechlivanidis et al., 2020; Bechlivanidis & Lagnado, 2016). To date, however, this temporal reordering effect has mostly been explored in animations in which a collision is the only causal explanation available, and thus it is unknown whether it can be influenced by the presence of multiple competing ones. In particular, it is unknown if the availability of an explanation congruent with the true order of events may prevent participants from shifting the order in which they perceive events to happen. In the present study we adapt the paradigm used in Bechlivanidis et al. (2020) to ask whether the inclusion of other elements that provide a causal justification for the true order of events can reduce or eliminate the temporal reordering effect. |
