Survey of decision field theory

A further test of sequential-sampling models that account for payoff effects on response bias in perceptual decision tasks

“…For example, we might assume a probability distribution for which attribute is considered first, or we may allow switching back and forth between attributes, or we may allow a distribution for the switching probabilities, and so on. For details, see Diederich (1997) and also Busemeyer and Diederich (2002). Figure 9 presents the model for same stimuli.…”

Decision making under conflict: Decision time as a measure of conflict strength

“…In a sense, one could say that Roe et al's MDFT assumes that attributes are processed in parallel, whereas in the approach presented here, the attributes are processed in a serial manner. For details, see Busemeyer and Diederich (2002). The preference process stops and a decision is initiated as soon as the process reaches a decision criterion,…”

Rigorously testing multialternative decision field theory against random utility models.

“…In contrast to these outcome-oriented models, many cognitive approaches to decision making aim for a description of the processes that underlie observable choices (e.g., Busemeyer & Diederich, 2002;Lewandowsky & Farrell, 2011). Within this category, sequential sampling models represent a particularly promising approach (e.g., Busemeyer & Townsend, 1993;Scheibehenne, Rieskamp, & Gonzalez-Vallejo, 2009;Usher & McClelland, 2004).…”
