A Conceptual Psychometric Model Explaining Residual Dependencies Between Response Accuracy and Time

• In Event: Response Times

Abstract

We illustrate how consistent empirical patterns in the dependencies between response accuracy and response time residuals can be explained by presence of exogenous item specific factors. One important consequence is that psychometric differences associated with fast and slow responses may be artifacts and not manifestations of varying psychological response processes.
