The Interval Estimation Task is a simple measure of sense of agency. It leverages the temporal illusion known as 'intentional binding' (Malik & Obhi, 2019). Intentional Binding = people tend to perceive the temporal interval between a voluntary action and its effect to be shorter than the same interval when it separates an involuntary action and effect. Malik & Obhi (2019), e.g., used the Interval Estimation Task to show that social exclusion impacted people's sense of agency.
