11 Response Probabilities A B A Response Times B S , 432, 675, 434, 754,, 421, , 798, 509, 686, 523,, 602, 776 S , 534, 782, 432, 534,, 873, , 523, 476, 756, 546,, 554, 699 S , 754, 634, 845, 456,, 547, , 873, 888, 934, 687,, 743, Sm , 643, 523, 532, 256, , 633, 623, 587, 677,, 454, 765 how do we summarize the RT data, and what do we actually fit?

12 mean RT RT j = 1 n n i=1 - overall mean RT in a given condition, or for a given stimulus - mean RT conditionalized on the response rt i

13 mean RT RT j = 1 n n i=1 rt i cumulative distribution function (CDF) F j(t) = # elements in sample t n

14 mean RT RT j = 1 n n i=1 rt i cumulative distribution function (CDF) F j(t) = # elements in sample t n probability density function (PDF) histogram kernel density estimation

15

16 Histograms vs Kernel Density Estimation

17 pts = 0:.1:20; [pdf_kernel, t_kernel] = ksdensity(data, pts, 'support', 'positive', 'function', pdf'); 'support' 'function' 'positive' 'unbounded' 'pdf' 'cdf'

18 mean RT RT j = 1 n n i=1 rt i cumulative distribution function (CDF) F j(t) = # elements in sample t n probability density function (PDF) histogram kernel density estimation hazard function h( t) = f 1 ( t) F( t) From actuary science: The probability that you will die in the next instant given that you re still alive. h(t) increases as you get older and older. Sigh. probability a process will terminate in the next instant given that it has not terminated yet

21 mean RT RT j = 1 n n i=1 rt i aren t means enough? cumulative distribution function (CDF) F j(t) = # elements in sample t n probability density function (PDF) histogram kernel density estimation hazard function h( t) = f 1 ( t) F( t)

22 What can Response Time Distributions tell you?

23 What can Response Time Distributions tell you? So why would anyone ever care about a response time distribution?

24 What can Response Time Distributions tell you? Mean response times tell you everything you need to know

25 What can Response Time Distributions tell you? Right?

26 What can Response Time Distributions tell you? Imagine an experiment with three conditions A, B, and C Mean RTs are µ A < µ B < µ C

27 What can Response Time Distributions tell you? Imagine an experiment with three conditions A, B, and C Mean RTs are P(RT<t) 1 0 µ A < µ B < µ C A B C Different qualitative patterns of response time variability can give rise to The same ordering of mean RTs. These different possibilities could imply different mechanisms. P(RT<t) 1 0 A B C

28 1 A B C P(RT<t) 0

29 1 A B C P(RT<t) 0 A animal B bird C sparrow

30 1 A B C P(RT<t) 0 A animal perception Yes B bird C sparrow

31 1 A B C P(RT<t) 0 A animal perception Yes B bird perception Yes C sparrow perception Yes

32 1 A B C P(RT<t) 0 A animal perception Yes B bird perception Yes C sparrow perception Yes

33 1 A B C P(RT<t) 0 A animal B bird C sparrow

34 1 A B C P(RT<t) 0 A animal perception Yes B bird C sparrow

35 1 A B C P(RT<t) 0 A animal perception Yes B bird perception Yes C sparrow perception Yes

36 1 A B C P(RT<t) 0 A animal perception Yes B bird perception Yes C sparrow perception Yes

37 What can Response Time Distributions tell you? Wow. That s actually the kind of differences we d predict. I need to go look at my data again.
