abstract = {Preparing for the moment of action speeds up reaction time
(RT) performance even if the particular response is unknown
beforehand. When the preparatory interval, or foreperiod
(FP), varies unpredictably between trials, responses usually
become faster with increasing FP length. This variable-FP
effect has been demonstrated to partly originate from
trial-to-trial sequential effects of FP length, which are
asymmetric as they occur mainly in short-FP but not in
long-FP trials. In two experiments, we examined whether and
how event-specific biases arising from previous target
processing and responding affect both variable-FP and
sequential FP effects. We found that trial-to-trial
repetitions (vs. alternations) of imperative events produced
response time benefits in short-FP but not in long-FP
trials, almost eliminating the variable-FP effect, while the
sequential FP effect remained intact. This asymmetric
contribution to speeded performance in variable-FP settings
suggests that sequential event-specific biases may be highly
transient and not necessarily an integral part of the mental
representations that guide time-based expectancy, or may be
overridden by high levels of nonspecific preparation in
long-FP trials. In conclusion, temporal preparation appears
to be a nonspecific mechanism (i.e., generally not bound to
particular event features) for prioritizing certain
positions on the mental time line, on which event-specific
short-term biases are superimposed if time-based preparation
is weak. (PsycINFO Database Record.},
