Diffusion Process Models Of Decision Making: Volume 1 : Fundamental Processes

Diffusion decision models are powerful tools for understanding how we make rapid decisions in a complex world. From recognizing faces to navigating busy streets, we constantly process information and make choices on the fly.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the theory, mathematics, and applications of diffusion process models in psychology and neuroscience. Discover how these models explain the noisy accumulation of evidence that drives our everyday decisions.

Inside, you’ll find:

A detailed examination of the Wiener diffusion model.
A unified treatment of cognitive theory.
Insights into the neural foundations of dynamic diffusion process models.
Applications to two-choice, multiple-choice, and continuous outcome decisions.
This volume provides an in-depth look at the mechanisms underlying our ability to make quick, efficient decisions in a dynamic environment.
