Ergo reports an order effect: in a Mechanical Turk experiment with stimuli the authors made, the glance-first order gave a median POV-attribution probability of 0.74 and glance-second 0.37 in the baseline short-glance condition. Lengthening the glance from about 2 s to 5 s reduced the difference. The authors state the limit themselves: one clip per condition, so no general effect across examples. Their explanation, incremental viewpoint grounding, is a proposal. This is the only empirical attribution study found in the open sources fetched.

Curator qualifications: Figures and the authors' own limit verified. Curator caveat: the glance-second condition was the same clip played in reverse, so order is confounded with reversed motion within shots; the authors do not discuss this. Treat glance-first as a documented tendency from one stimulus, not a rule. Curator addition: note 36 says the retrospective condition used the clip 'played in reverse', a possible confound beyond 'one clip per condition'.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
