The assumptions these models make about the accumulation of evidence used in making a decision also have implications for response reversals. This project used the expanded judgment task to test the expanded Poisson race model's predictions of the frequency of response reversals. For the first experiment, subjects had to decide between two decks of red and green cards, one of which was predominantly red while the other was predominantly green. Subjects viewed sequences of 1, 3, or 5 cards randomly drawn from one the decks, made a decision, and then viewed a further 2, 4, or 6 cards and made a confidence judgment in which they had the opportunity to reverse their decision. The results found that, qualitatively, the model fit the trends of the empirical data but tended to underestimate the average number of reversals. To examine whether the deviations from the model were due to order effects, a second experiment was run in which subjects only viewed 3 cards initially and 2 cards in the end, but every possible order of red and green cards was presented. However, no significant order effects were observed, providing support for the model's assumption that the serial position of a card had no impact on a subject's decision. Recommendations are given for the modification of the expanded Poisson race model to better handle the variability expressed in the data, future experiments are suggested to help further determine the extent of order effects in the tasks, and finally, potential applications with response reversals in competitive model selection are discussed. 2011-12-15 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1321454142 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1321454142 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
