The Temporal Order Judgment

Temporal Order Judgment (TOJ) is the ability to determine the sequence of events happening in time. For example, if two lights flash quickly one after the other, TOJ helps us perceive which light appeared first. It involves our brain processing sensory information to establish the order of stimuli, which is important for understanding cause-and-effect and synchrony in our environment. Accurate TOJ allows us to make sense of multiple events occurring in rapid succession, facilitating coordination and interaction with the world around us.
