There are many sources of information that people can use to improve the accuracy of reports about causal relationships between stimuli and their own responses. Several experiments have been carried out to discover whether internal events between stimulus and response might be one of these, but none has so far succeeded in controlling for all other possible sources of accurate report. A study is reported here in which an attempt was made to achieve this by comparing a group of subjects making reports immediately after some response with a group making reports after a substantial delay. Evidence for report accuracy attributable to information about internal events between stimulus and response was found. Theoretical implications remain unclear, however
