Length-induced changes in drift rate and non-decision time as function of stimulus type and language. (A) Reaction times for correct responses to words and pseudo-words in German and English. RTs increase for PWs but not for words with length. (B) Estimates of non-decision times for words and pseudo-words in German and English based on parameters of the diffusion model. Non-decision time increased with length in all four conditions. (C) Estimates of drift rates for words and pseudo-words in German and English based on parameters of the diffusion model. Evidence accumulation slowed down with length for pseudo-words, but was faster for long than for short words.
