Figure 1. Graphical outline of the Drift Diffusion Model (DDM).

Figure 1

The two sample paths represent accumulation of evidence from a presented female face stimulus; resulting in either a correct (black line) or incorrect response (grey line). As shown in the RT histograms, responses more often accumulate towards a correct choice (above) than an incorrect choice (below). Drift rate (Inline graphic) represents the average amount of evidence accumulated per time unit. Boundary separation (Inline graphic) represents how much evidence is needed before a definitive response is made.
