Title: An Accuracy-Response Time Capacity Assessment Function that Measures Performance against Standard Parallel Predictions
Abstract: Measures of human efficiency under increases in mental workload or attentional limitations are vital in studying human perception, cognition, and action. Assays of efficiency as workload changes have typically been confined to either reaction times (RTs) or accuracy alone. Within the realm of reaction times, a non-parametric measure called the workload capacity coefficient has been employed in many studies (Townsend & Nozawa, 1995). However, the contribution of correct versus incorrect responses has been unavailable in that context. A non-parametric statistic which is capable of simultaneously taking into account accuracy as well as reaction times would be highly useful. This theoretical study develops such a tool for two important decisional stopping rules. Preliminary data from a simple visual identification study illustrates one potential application.
