| Abstract |
Decision making is strongly influenced by the speed-accuracy trade-off. In this dissertation, I have tackled the issue of speed versus accuracy from both a theoretical and an empirical viewpoint and have been drawn time and time again to the same inescapable conclusion: speeded decision making cannot be thoroughly investigated without a formal quantitative process model. Only by transforming relatively uninformative behavioral data into meaningful psychological processes can there be hope for a more complete understanding of the factors that influence performance in human decision making.
