Robust versus optimal strategies for two-alternative forced choice tasks.
It has been proposed that animals and humans might choose a speed-accuracy tradeoff that maximizes reward rate. For this utility function the simple drift-diffusion model of two-alternative forced-choice tasks predicts a parameter-free optimal performance curve that relates normalized decision times to error rates under varying task conditions. However, behavioral data indicate that only ≈ 30% ...
متن کاملRobust satisfying versus optimizing strategies for two-alternative forced choice
The optimal strategy for two-alternative forced choice experiments results in a single optimal performance curve that relates the normalized reaction time to the error-rate. Comparison with experimental data indicates that the optimal performance curve describes well the performance of the top 30%-40% of the best performing subjects. Here we investigate the possibility that subjects exercise ro...
متن کاملTesting Transitivity of Preferences on Two-Alternative Forced Choice Data
As Duncan Luce and other prominent scholars have pointed out on several occasions, testing algebraic models against empirical data raises difficult conceptual, mathematical, and statistical challenges. Empirical data often result from statistical sampling processes, whereas algebraic theories are nonprobabilistic. Many probabilistic specifications lead to statistical boundary problems and are s...
