Decision makers are often unable to choose between the options that they are offered. In these settings they typically defer their decision, that is, delay the decision to a later point in time or avoid the decision altogether. In this paper, we outline eight behavioral findings regarding the causes and consequences of choice deferral that cognitive theories of decision making should be able to...

This article discusses how sequential sampling models can be integrated in a cognitive architecture. The new theory Retrieval by Accumulating Evidence in an Architecture (RACE/A) combines the level of detail typically provided by sequential sampling models with the level of task complexity typically provided by cognitive architectures. We will use RACE/A to model data from two variants of a pic...

this paper studies the sequential sampling scheme, as a solution to the problem of aliasing, where the sampling interval is restricted to a minimum allowable value d t. in the sequential sampling, the signal is sampled at intervals of d t, d t+ dt , d t+2 dt , d t+3 dt , ...; where dt < d t and may be selected as desirable. the sequential sampling is, however, analyzed and it is proven that, wh...
