Note: Mean values of parameters fixed for every row of the table are: a=0.10, Ter =0.4, v =0.4. The parameters of the model are a =boundary separation, z=a/2=starting point, Ter =mean value of the nondecision components of response time, η=SD in drift across trials, sz =range of the distribution of starting point (z) across trials, v=drift rate, and st =range of the distribution of nondecision times across trials. Variability in parameters across subjects: sv variability in drift rate, sa variability in boundary separation, and sTer variability in the mean value of the nondecision components of processing. Acc=accuracy, RT¯=mean RT, and Q 0.1–Q 0.9 are the 0.1–0.9 quantile RTs.
