Bayesian modeling speed-accuracy trade-off data: Examples from probability matching and memory tasks

2018-07-21
The speed-accuracy trade-off (SAT), defined as a tendency to trade response time for accuracy and vice versa, is a common problem in two-choice decision tasks. Employing a response deadline procedure provides a full time-course function which describes how cognitive processing unfolds over time. The response deadline procedure allows unbiased estimates of accuracy and speed independent from each other by signalling participants to respond in a controlled condition. In this investigation, a Bayesian model is proposed to estimate the accuracy and speed parameters of SAT functions obtained from the response deadline procedure. The proposed model is derived from a Bayesian signal detection framework and defines accuracy as an exponential growth function of total processing time. The proposed model was applied to both probability matching and item-recognition data sets, and the obtained parameter estimates were evaluated for validity. The findings suggest that the proposed Bayesian framework can provide an effective approach to model SAT curves.

Local Decision-Making in multiple levels for lottery data analysis
Beldek, U.; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2011-01-01)
Sales forecasting is a common problem in economics. Lottery sales are one of the favorite issues of sales forecasting. Sales of lottery tickets depend on many economical issues and such a problem was investigated previously (Beensock et al., 2002) where Genetic Programming is used in order to construct different agent structures that predict the number of ticket sales in Israel lottery. In each application in (Beensock et al., 2002), only a single agent is developed to predict the number of ticket sales at ...
Transportation interval situations and related games
PALANCI, Osman; ALPARSLAN GÖK, Sırma Zeynep; OLGUN, MEHMET ONUR; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2016-01-01)
Basically, uncertainty is present in almost every real-world situation, it is influencing and questioning our decisions. In this paper, we analyze transportation interval games corresponding to transportation interval situations. In those situations, it may affect the optimal amount of goods and consequently whether and how much of a product is transported from a producer to a retailer. Firstly, we introduce the interval Shapley value of a game arising from a transportation situation under uncertainty. Seco...
Optimizable multiresolution quadratic variation filter for high-frequency financial data
Şen, Aykut; Akyıldız, Ersan; Department of Financial Mathematics (2009)
As the tick-by-tick data of financial transactions become easier to reach, processing that much of information in an efficient and correct way to estimate the integrated volatility gains importance. However, empirical findings show that, this much of data may become unusable due to microstructure effects. Most common way to get over this problem is to sample the data in equidistant intervals of calendar, tick or business time scales. The comparative researches on that subject generally assert that, the most...
Gender and personality differences in cognitive tasks: a performance and human mental workload study
Batun, Betül; Çilingir, Canan; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Industrial Engineering (2015)
The increasing complexity of today’s systems creates more demand on individuals during their daily tasks and mental workload becomes more important during a cognitive process. In this study, our aim is to investigate whether individual differences, cognitive task types and task difficulty have a significant impact on mental workload and how those elements affect mental workload if they do. N-back, maze and information sampling task (IST) are used as cognitive tasks. Mental workload is assessed by monitoring...
