Note. Model with one boundary separation for pure and mixed blocks. v1 = drift rate for pure trials with short RSI; v2 = drift rate for no-switch trials with short RSI; v3 = drift rate for switch trials with short RSI; v4 = drift rate for pure trials with long RSI; v5 = drift rate for no-switch trials with long RSI; v6 = drift rate for switch trials with long RSI.
