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 کاملFactoring out nondecision time in choice reaction time data: Theory and implications.
Choice reaction time (RT) experiments are an invaluable tool in psychology and neuroscience. A common assumption is that the total choice response time is the sum of a decision and a nondecision part (time spent on perceptual and motor processes). While the decision part is typically modeled very carefully (commonly with diffusion models), a simple and ad hoc distribution (mostly uniform) is as...
متن کاملApplication of the Theory of Planned Behaviour to Leisure Choice
The research reported in the present paper focused on psychological aspects of outdoor recreation, and on the relation between psychological variables and economic measures of value in the form of willingness to pay. The conceptual framework for this research was provided by the theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1988; Ajzen and Madden, 1986). The theory's basic concepts are intention to perfo...
متن کاملNonparametric Discrete Choice Models for Time Series: Theory and Application to Predicting Recessions
In this work we generalize the non-parametric quasi-likelihood method to the context of discrete choice models for time series data and, in particular, when lags of the discrete dependent variable appear among regressors. We derive consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimator for such models for general case and present an application to real data on US recessions.
متن کاملRational Choice Theory: An Overview
It seems easy to accept that rationality involves many features that cannot be summarized in terms of some straightforward formula, such as binary consistency. However, this recognition does not immediately lead to alternative characterizations that might be regarded as satisfactory, even though the inadequacies of the traditional assumptions of rational behavior standard used in economic theo...
