description The importance of temporal expectation for sensory perception has been demonstrated across diverse paradigms and multiple modalities. Overall, the findings are consistent: temporal expectation results in greater encoding precision, higher perceptual sensitivity, and decreased response times during behavioral tasks. Temporal expectation itself can take several forms. “Controlled” expectation arises when a symbolic cue indicates that a stimulus will occur at a particular time in the future (Rohenkohl et al., 2012). Temporal expectations also arise through rhythmic sensory stimulation (McAuley and Jones, 2003). Finally, a form of “automatic” temporal expectation builds up over time if a sensory event is expected but precisely when it will occur is unknown (Nobre et al., 2007).
