"Temporal Order Judgments: The Effect of Time Delay on Perception" (academic paper)

"Temporal Order Judgments: The Effect of Time Delay on Perception" explores how our brains determine the sequence of events, especially when there’s a delay between stimuli. The study shows that as time gaps between two events increase, it becomes harder for us to correctly identify which happened first. This research helps explain the limits of our perception and has implications for understanding sensory processing, timing in communication, and designing better systems that rely on accurate event sequencing. Essentially, it reveals how timing influences our ability to perceive the order of happening events in the world around us.
