{ "pk": 26249, "title": "Geometric representations of evidence in models of decision-making", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Traditionally, models of the decision-making process have fo-cused on the case where a decision-maker must choose be-tween two alternatives. The most successful of these, sequen-tial sampling models, have been extended from the binary caseto account for choices and response times between multiplealternatives. In this paper, I present a geometric representa-tion of diffusion and accumulator models of multiple-choicedecisions, and show how these can be analyzed as Markovprocesses on lattices. I then introduce psychological relation-ships between choice alternatives and show how this impactsthe sequential sampling process. I conclude with two examplesshowing how one can predict distributions of responses on acontinuum as well as response times by incorporating psycho-logical representations into a multi-dimensional random walkdiffusion process.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "random walk; decision making; evidence accumu-lation; multi-alternative; continuous response" } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/01z86463", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Peter", "middle_name": "D.", "last_name": "Kvam", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Michigan State University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Luis", "middle_name": "H.", "last_name": "Favela", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Central Florida", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2016-01-01T10:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26249/galley/15885/download/" } ] }
