Schematic illustration of the experimental procedure. A trial started with a fixation dot, followed by a white random dot kinematogram. After 400 ms to 600 ms, they turned green and moved together in one direction for a given duration; then the display shifted back to the white random dot kinematogram. Next, a cue appeared for half a second, either the letter 'D' for the direction task or the letter 'T' for the timing task. For the direction task, participants adjusted a line pointer with arrow keys and confirmed their report by pressing the spacebar. Experiments 1 and 2 differed in the timing task. In Experiment 1, it was a discrimination task, with a prompt display ("< or >"), while in Experiment 2, the letter 'T' stayed on till the completion of the reproduction task. During the reproduction, dots moved together in one direction.
