Stimulus intensity, catch trial effects, and the speed-accuracy tradeoff in reaction time: A variable criterion theory interptation.
Ss responded to a 1,000-Hz tone of 50, 80, or 100 dB. Catch trial conditions were none, blank trials, a red light, a noise, and an 1,800-Hz tone. Auditory catch signals were of the same intensities. RT distributions in the first three conditions were well described by a family of exponential growth functions dependent upon stimulus intensity and by the parameters of normal criterion distributio...
متن کاملSimple reaction time and statistical facilitation: a parallel grains model.
A race-like model is developed to account for various phenomena arising in simple reaction time (RT) tasks. Within the model, each stimulus is represented by a number of grains of information or activation processed in parallel. The stimulus is detected when a criterion number of activated grains reaches a decision center. Using the concept of statistical facilitation, the model accounts for ma...
متن کاملEffects of graded doses of alcohol on speed-accuracy tradeoff in choice reaction time
The inconsistency of previous results concerning the effects of alcohol on reaction time (RT) may be related to possible tradeoffs between speed and accuracy. In the present experiment, complete speed-accuracy tradeoff functions were generated for each of five doses of alcohol (0-1.33 ml/kg) t'f1 a choiceRT task. Such functions permit RT differences resulting from changes in performance efficie...
متن کاملStatistical decision theory and evolution.
Two recent articles by Geisler and Diehl use Bayesian statistical decision theory to model the co-evolution of predator and prey in a simple, game-like environment. The prey is characterized by its coloration. The predator is characterized by the chromatic sensitivity of its visual system and its willingness to attack. The authors demonstrate how the coloration of prey and the perceptual system...
متن کاملStatistical Decision and Learning Theory
This paper reviews and contrasts the basic elements of statistical decision theory [1–4] and statistical learning theory [5–7]. It is not intended to be a comprehensive treatment of either subject, but rather just enough to draw comparisons between the two. Throughout this paper, let X denote the input to a decision-making process and Y denote the correct response or output (e.g., the value of ...
