Note. a=boundary separation, z=starting point, Ter=nondecision component of response time, η =standard deviation in drift across trials, sz=range of the distribution of starting point (z), st = range of the distribution of nondecision times, vH, vL, vV, and vN are the drift rates for high, low, and very low frequency words and for nonwords respectively, and χ2 is the chi-square goodness of fit measure. The number of degrees of freedom for the fits to data was 65 and the critical value of chi-square at the .05 level was 84.8. In the simulations, the drift rates were not correlated. The following were lower limits on parameter values: a, 0.07; η, 0.02; Ter, 0.25; st, 0.04, sz, 1.8 the distance from the starting point to the nearest boundary. Separate sets of simulations were conducted with po 0 or 0.04. Each drift rate had the same random number added to it so if a subject had a high drift rate in one condition they had a high drift rate in the other conditions.
