Examines the possibility that the components of an information-processing system all operate continuously, passing information from one to the next as it becomes available. A model called the" cascade model" is presented and shown to be compatible with the general form of the relation between time and accuracy in speed–accuracy trade-off experiments. In the model, experimental manipulations may have either or both of 2 effects on a processing level: They may alter the rate of response or the asymptotic quality of the output. The effects of such manipulations on the output of a system of processes is described. The model is then used to reexamine the subtraction and additive factors methods for analyzing the composition of systems of processes. Results include the finding that factors that affect the rates of 2 different processes would be expected to have additive effects on reaction times under the cascade model, whereas 2 factors that both affect the rate of the same process would tend to interact, just as in the case in which the manipulations affect the durations of discrete stages. Factors that affect asymptotic output, however, tend to interact whether they affect the same or different processes. A new method is presented for analyzing processes in cascade, which extends the additive factors method to an analysis of the parameters of the function relating response time and accuracy.(70 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
