Relationship between temporal knowledge and temporal bias during inference. a) Across all participants, inference bias can be predicted from participants’ ability to identify familiar character sequences (targets) during the temporal knowledge task. However, the relationship between temporal bias during inference and temporal sequence knowledge varied with age. While b) younger children (7-9 years), c) older children (10-12 years), and d) adolescents (13-15 years) showed no relationship between temporal bias and temporal knowledge, temporal knowledge was predictive of the degree of temporal bias observed during inference in e) adults.
