If actions generate slightly delayed effects, these actions and effects are estimated to have shifted towards each other in time. The functional mechanisms for this finding of temporal action-effect binding are not yet fully understood and range from intention or causality to multimodal cue integration. I present an intriguing finding of dynamic readjustment of action estimations across studies. If an action is estimated repeatedly under constant conditions, estimations will gradually shift towards an earlier mean, but revert when conditions change. This is especially true if actions engender effects or new action-effect contingencies need to be learned. These finding offer up a novel approach to temporal action-effect binding under consideration of learning aspects.
