Talk:Perceptual asynchrony

Article is overly narrow

There are a range of phenomena in which synchronous visual events are perceived asynchronously. While in several journal articles the term "perceptual asynchrony" is used to refer only to the phenomenon discovered by Motoussis & Zeki, I think those researchers use the term for convenience within the context of studying that particular phenomenon, not because they would expect people generally to use the term to refer only to that phenomenon. Therefore I think an article headed by the term "perceptual asynchrony" should also cover other phenomena, such as those caused by high-contrast stimuli being perceived as occurring prior to low-contrast stimuli, in temporal order judgments as well as the feature pairing judgment that is the topic of the current article. An alternative, which is probably more feasible in the short-term, is to change this article's name to a more appropriate term to indicate its narrowness. The term "color-motion asynchrony" would probably work - it is used in a recent article as the term for the main topic of this article. While the article also cites phenomena that don't involve color and motion, those are framed as variants which illuminate the color-motion case. Aoholcombe (talk) 20:20, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
