Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Psychology.
Presentation of stimuli has been shown not to facilitate later forced-choice perceptual identification, in which two response alternatives were presented on the screen at test. Several models were developed to explain performance in these paradigms, but none addressed the time course of processing. In this study, we examined the effect of prior study on performance by modeling accuracy and response times as well as eye fixation data. The model assumes two racing diffusing processes in which evidence accumulation rate (drift rate) differs as a function of the response alternative being currently viewed. Change in performance between the different study conditions (studied target, studied foil, or studied neither) was accounted for by a change in drift rate. Even without the eye tracking data, the model successfully fit choice behavior, response time distributions, and many of the eye fixation results.
