Fig. 3. Stability of individuals’ prior-entry effect.

The magnitude of prior-entry showed (a) a clear inter-individual variability with a significant ICC of .46, indicating that the magnitude of prior-entry was stable over 4 months. These results suggest that (b) an individual’s PSS fluctuated around a fixed bias (PSS_free, purple) as a function of whether the individual’s attention was oriented towards vision (red) or audition (blue). One dot is one individual’s average PSS over the four experimental sessions per experimental condition. The significant inter-individual variability of the magnitude of prior-entry indicates that the effect of attention on time order is specific to the individual. Additionally, the magnitude of prior-entry significantly (c) correlated with the absolute value of the PSS_AV, suggesting that attention could partially (but not fully due to (b)) compensate for an individual’s intrinsic temporal delays. Each dot corresponds to an individual and a session. ** p < .01
