There are few behavioral effects as ubiquitous as the speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT). From
insects to rodents to primates, the tendency for decision speed to covary with decision …

In this review we summarize findings published over the past 10 years focusing on the
neural correlates of perceptual decision-making. Importantly, this review highlights only …

Human perceptual decisions are often described as optimal. Critics of this view have argued
that claims of optimality are overly flexible and lack explanatory power. Meanwhile …

Computational modeling is now ubiquitous in psychology, and researchers who are not
modelers may find it increasingly difficult to follow the theoretical developments in their field …

An elaborated diffusion process model (a Diffusion Model for Conflict Tasks, DMC) is
introduced that combines conceptual features of standard diffusion models with the notion of …

Intelligent agents balance speed of responding with accuracy of deciding. Stochastic
accumulator models commonly explain this speed-accuracy tradeoff by strategic adjustment …

Our understanding of cognition has been advanced by two traditionally non-overlapping and
non-interacting groups. Mathematical psychologists rely on behavioral data to evaluate …

To interact successfully with diverse sensory environments, we must adapt our decision
processes to account for time constraints and prior probabilities. The full set of decision …

Decision-makers effortlessly balance the need for urgency against the need for caution.
Theoretical and neurophysiological accounts have explained this tradeoff solely in terms of …

The discovery of neural signals that reflect the dynamics of perceptual decision formation
has had a considerable impact. Not only do such signals enable detailed investigations of …
