In the pre-target region, FFD did not differ significantly between conditions, t (31) = −1.646, p = 0.110, d = −0.291; GD was significantly longer under the high-predictability condition than under the low-predictability condition, t (31) = −4.251, p < 0.001, d = −0.751; and TRT did not reach statistical significance, t (31) = 1.954, p = 0.060, d = 0.345.

In the pre-target region, condition differences were predominantly reflected in the τ parameter: τ approached significance in the FFD window ( p = 0.064) and reached significance in both the GD ( p = 0.031) and TRT windows ( p = 0.022), whereas μ and σ remained unaffected across all windows.
