Measuring psychometric functions with the diffusion model.
The diffusion decision model (Ratcliff, 1978) was used to examine discrimination for a range of perceptual tasks: numerosity discrimination, number discrimination, brightness discrimination, motion discrimination, speed discrimination, and length discrimination. The model produces a measure of the quality of the information that drives decision processes, a measure termed drift rate in the mode...
متن کاملMeasuring isotropic diffusion with rotating diffusion gradients
Introduction Measuring the mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) provides valuable contrast in studying disease processes such as stroke and tumours. ADC is usually measured by acquiring a reference image and 3 images with diffusion weighting (DW) applied in 3 orthogonal directions. ADC is then defined as the mean of the 3 diffusivity maps. This can be time consuming, and single-shot method...
متن کاملA quantitative confidence signal detection model: 1. Fitting psychometric functions.
Perceptual thresholds are commonly assayed in the laboratory and clinic. When precision and accuracy are required, thresholds are quantified by fitting a psychometric function to forced-choice data. The primary shortcoming of this approach is that it typically requires 100 trials or more to yield accurate (i.e., small bias) and precise (i.e., small variance) psychometric parameter estimates. We...
متن کاملAdditive noise, Weibull functions and the approximation of psychometric functions
The Weibull function is frequently chosen to define psychometric functions. Tyler and Chen (Vis. Res. 40 (2000) 3121) criticised the high-threshold postulate implied by the Weibull function and argued that this function implies the assumption of multiplicative noise. It will be shown in this paper that in fact the Weibull function is compatible with the assumption of additive noise, and that th...
متن کاملMeasuring engagement in nurses: the psychometric properties of the Persian version of Utrecht Work Engagement Scale
Background: Considering the overall tendency in psychology, researchers in the field of work and organizational psychology have become progressively interested in employees’ effective and optimistic experiments at work such as work engagement. This study was conducted to investigate 2 main purposes: assessing the psychometric properties of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, ...
