Does "accounts" here mean "descriptions"?

Context:
Buehner decided to test this hypothesis in two experiments using an event-anticipation paradigm. Participants in the experiments had to predict when a target light would flash. In the Baseline condition, the target flash was preceded by a signal light; in the Self-Causal condition, participants pressed a button to generate the target flash; in the Machine-Causal condition, a separate machine pressed the button to generate the target flash. According to the causal binding hypothesis, the Self-Causal and Machine-Causal conditions should lead participants to anticipate the target flash earlier relative to Baseline; according to intentional binding accounts, only participants in the Self-Causal condition would show early anticipation.

@oristarA,
No...It is saying according to all the intentional binding participants that were tested, only participants in the self-casual condition would show early anticipation (Early eagerly await) (or expectation)

@oristarA,
Sorry...I think I should correct what I have said...

According to the "described hypothesized views" only participants in the self causal condition would show early anticipation...and not Machine casual as well...

Hence the theory, and test...

@oristarA,
"descriptions" and in a "hypothesis" or "theory"

Yes, it does mean "explained hypothesized descriptions"...
