About measuring reaction times

Analyzing Reaction Times

Reaction times (rts) are an important source of information in experimental psychology. Classical methodological considerations pertaining to the statistical analysis of rt data are optimized for analyses of aggregated data, based on subject or item means (c.f., Forster & Dickinson, 1976). Mixedeffects modeling (see, e.g., Baayen, Davidson, & Bates, 2008) does not require prior aggregation and ...

Modelling Reaction Times

We discuss the simulation of reaction times in connectionist systems. The obvious way to do this involves thinking in terms of neural activations building up towards some threshold in cascaded systems, but it has also been suggested that the output activation error scores in standard back-propagation networks should also be correlated with response times. The idea is that in the more realistic ...

Measuring BGP Pass-Through Times

Fast routing convergence is a key requirement for services that rely on stringent QoS. Yet experience has shown that the standard inter-domain routing protocol, BGP4, takes, at times, more than one hour to converge. Previous work has focused on exploring if this stems from protocol interactions, timers, etc. In comparison only marginal attention has been payed to quantify the impact of individu...

Measuring induction times and crystal nucleation rates.

A large variation is observed in induction times measured under equal conditions in 1 ml solutions. Ruling out experimental errors, this variation originates from the nucleation process. The induction time distribution is explained by the stochastic nature of nucleation if the number of nuclei formed is approaching 1 per vial. Accurate heterogeneous crystal nucleation rates were determined from...
