Bayesian Models Of Sequential Dependencies In Binary And Multi-Interval Response Tasks, Jeffrey Scott Annis
Bayesian Models Of Sequential Dependencies In Binary And Multi-Interval Response Tasks, Jeffrey Scott Annis
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
A sequential dependency occurs when the response on the current trial is correlated with responses made on prior trials. Sequential dependencies have been observed in a variety of both perception and memory tasks. Thus, sequential dependencies provide a platform for relating these two cognitive processes. However, there are many issues associated with measuring sequential dependencies and therefore it is necessary to develop measurement models that directly address them. Here, several measurement models of sequential dependencies for both binary and multi-interval response tasks are described. The efficacy of the models is verified by applying them to simulated data sets with known …

It was hypothesized that Franco Americans would prioritize values in line with the group’s traditional …
