A Note on the Stop-Signal Paradigm, or How to Observe the Unobservable.

Colonius, Hans

Psychological Review, v97 n2 p309-12 Apr 1990

A new theoretical analysis of the stop-signal model is proposed. Within the concepts of crude- and net-hazard functions, the nonobservable control-latency distribution can be estimated from observable reaction times. This result allows a test of the Logan and Cowan model (1984) without simplifying assumptions. (SLD)
