The diffusion model for 2-choice decisions (R. Ratcliff, 1978) was applied to data from lexical decision experiments in which word frequency, proportion of high- versus low-frequency words, and type nonword were manipulated. gave a good account all the dependent variables--accuracy, correct error response times, their distributions--and provided description how component processes involved task affected by experimental variables. All variables investigated rate at information accumulated...
Recent research has shown that letter identity and position are not integral perceptual dimensions (e.g., jugde primes judge in word-recognition experiments). Most comprehensive computational models of visual word recognition the interactive activation model, J. L. McClelland & D. E. Rumelhart, 1981, its successors) assume each within a is perfectly encoded. Thus, these unable to explain presence effects transposition (trial-trail), migration (beard-bread), repeated letters (moose-mouse), or...
In this article, the first explicit, theory-based comparison of 2-choice and go/no-go variants 3 experimental tasks is presented. Prior research has questioned whether underlying core-information processing different for 2 a task or they differ mostly in response demands. The authors examined 4 diffusion models variant each along with standard model (R. Ratcliff, 1978). were fit to data from lexical decision experiments, 1 numerosity discrimination experiment, recognition memory variants....
What is wrong with the peer review system? Is sustainable? Useful? other models exist? These are central yet contentious questions in today’s academic discourse. This perspective critically discusses alternative and revisions to system. The authors highlight possible changes system, goal of fostering further dialog among main stakeholders, including producers consumers scientific research. Neither our list identified issues system nor discussed resolutions complete. A point agreement that...
The effects of aging on response time (RT) are examined in 2 lexical-decision experiments with young and older subjects (age 60-75). results show that the were slower than subjects, but more accurate. R. Ratcliff s (1978) diffusion model provided a good account RTs, their distributions, accuracy. fits an 80-100-ms slowing nondecision components RT for relative to conservative decision criterion settings subjects. rates accumulation evidence not significantly different compared (less 2% 5%...
In the past decades, hundreds of articles have explored mechanisms underlying priming. Most researchers assume that masked and unmasked priming are qualitatively different. For priming, effects often assumed to reflect savings in encoding target stimulus, whereas for it has been suggested familiarity prime-target compound cue. contrast, other claimed essentially same core processes. this article, we use diffusion model (R. Ratcliff, 1978, A theory memory retrieval, Psychological Review, Vol....
The development of social robots for children with autism has been a growth field the past 15 years. This article reviews studies in and as neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts social-communication development, ways could help develop skills. Drawing on ethics research from EU-funded Development Robot-Enhanced Therapy Children Autism (DREAM) project (framework 7), this paper explores how evolves developed European project. is based incorporation multiple stakeholders' perspectives...
Abstract Masked priming is one of the most important paradigms in study visual word recognition, but it usually thought to require a laboratory setup with known monitor and keyboard. To test if this technique can be safely used an online setting, we conducted two masked lexical decision task experiments using PsychoPy/PsychoJS (Peirce et al., 2019). Importantly, also tested role prime exposure duration (33.3 vs. 50 ms Experiment 1 16.7 33.3 2), thus allowing us examine both across conditions...
Background Several recent studies have revealed that words presented with a small increase in interletter spacing are identified faster than the default (i.e., w t e r water). Modeling work has shown this advantage occurs at an early encoding level. Given implications of finding for ease reading new digital era, here we examined whether beneficial effect increases can be generalized to normal situation. Methodology We conducted experiment which participant's eyes were monitored when...
In a diffusion model, performance as measured by latency and accuracy in two-choice tasks is decomposed into different parameters that can be linked to underlying cognitive processes. Although the model has been utilized account for lexical decision data, effects of stimulus manipulations previous experiments originated from just one parameter: quality evidence. Here we examined whether used effectively decompose processes during visual-word recognition. We explore this issue an experiment...
Accumulation of evidence models perceptual decision making have been able to account for data from a wide range domains at an impressive level precision. In particular, Ratcliff's (1978) diffusion model has used across many different 2-choice tasks in which the response is executed via key-press. this article, we present 2 experiments letter-discrimination task exploring 3 central aspects task: discriminability stimulus, modality execution (eye movement, key pressing, and pointing on...
The encoding of letter position appears to be relatively flexible. Transposed-letter pseudowords (e.g. CHOLOCATE) are more often misidentified as their base words (CHOCOLATE) compared replacement-letter (CHOTONATE) – transposed-letter effect. One plausible explanation for this effect is that it arises from visuospatial uncertainty in encoding. To test account, we conducted two lexical decision experiments. Pseudowords were presented syllable-by-syllable vertical and zigzag formats, making...
Previous research has shown that, unlike misspelled common words, brand names are sensitive to visual letter similarity effects (e.g., amazom is often recognized as a legitimate name, but not amazot). This pattern poses problems for those models that assume word identification exclusively based on abstract codes. Here, we investigated the role of using another type presented in more homogenous format than words: city names. We found effect Barcetona was word, Barcesona) relatively short...
