Abstract
Agency ratings for action outcomes (visual stimuli following voluntary button choices) were higher for unpredicted action-congruent images than action-incongruent images, and highest for predicted action-congruent images. Cognitive load did not affect agency ratings for unpredicted images, suggesting inference of agency for unexpected outcomes does not depend on cognitive resources.
