英文摘要:
We derive expressions for the first three moments of the decision time (DT) distribution produced via first threshold crossings by sample paths of a drift-diffusion equation. The \"pure\" and \"extended\" diffusion processes are widely used to model two-alternative forced choice decisions, and, while simple formulae for accuracy, mean DT and coefficient of variation are readily available, third and higher moments and conditioned moments are not generally available. We provide explicit formulae for these, describe their behaviors as drift rates and starting points approach interesting limits, and, with the support of numerical simulations, discuss how trial-to-trial variability of drift rates, starting points, and non-decision times affect these behaviors in the extended diffusion model. Both unconditioned moments and those conditioned on correct and erroneous responses are treated. We argue that the results will assist in exploring mechanisms of evidence accumulation and in fitting parameters to experimental data.

中文摘要:
我们推导了漂移扩散方程的样本路径通过第一阈值交叉产生的决策时间(DT)分布的前三个矩的表达式。“纯”扩散过程和“扩展”扩散过程被广泛用于模拟两种替代的强迫选择决策,虽然精度、平均DT和变异系数的简单公式很容易获得,但三阶矩和更高阶矩以及条件矩通常不可用。我们提供了明确的公式,描述了它们在漂移率和起始点接近有趣极限时的行为,并在数值模拟的支持下,讨论了漂移率、起始点和非决定时间的试验间变化如何影响扩展扩散模型中的这些行为。无论是无条件的时刻,还是以正确和错误的反应为条件的时刻,都会得到处理。我们认为,这些结果将有助于探索证据积累的机制,并将参数与实验数据进行拟合。
