Abstract
When participants are asked to localize the first position of a moving stimulus they typically mislocalize it in the direction of the movement (Fröhlich Effect; Fröhlich, 1923). As possible mechanisms causing the Fröhlich Effect a low-level motion-deblurring mechanism and a high-level attentional account are discussed (Aschersleben & Müsseler, 1997; Müsseler & Aschersleben, 1996). In anyway, the mislocalization points to a temporal error indicating a delay in the subjective timing of a moving stimulus. However, this delay is in contrast to other findings according to which moving stimuli are processed faster than stationary stimuli. We explored this dissociation in four experiments.
