RT-MPTs: Multinomial processing tree models and response latencies

该项目的目的是将两种倾向于分析心理过程的强有力的研究结合起来：响应时间分布的建模和多项处理树（MPT）模型。其思想是以一种完全通用的方式扩展MPT模型，以联合考虑响应和响应时间，从而使人们能够解开MPT模型中考虑的流程的完成时间分布。如果成功，该项目将使人们更深入地了解由MPT模型建模的许多任务和范式的处理架构，它将为现在占主导地位的简单扩散模型分析范式提供原则性的竞争对手，它将允许人们测试关于当前许多心理学理论所暗示的不同过程完成时间的理论预测。它将支持开发更完整、更可靠、更有效的测量模型，用于心理学的核心兴趣过程

The purpose of the project is to bring together two strong strands of research bent on analyzing mental processes: the modeling of response-time distributions and multinomial-processing tree (MPT) models. The idea is to extend MPT models in a fully general way to jointly account for responses and response times allowing one to disentangle the completion-time distributions of the processes considered in the MPT model. If successful, the project will allow one to gain deeper insight into the processing architecture of the many tasks and paradigms modeled by MPT models, it will provide a principled competitor to the now dominant paradigm of simple diffusionmodel analyses, it will allow one to test theoretical predictions about process-completion times of different processes implied by many current psychological theories, and it will support the development of more complete and hopefully more reliable and valid measurement models for processes of central psychological interest
