Many experiments in psychology yield both reaction time and accuracy data. However, no
off-the-shelf methods yet exist for the statistical analysis of such data. One particularly …

We demonstrate how to add a custom distribution into the general-purpose, open-source,
cross-platform graphical modeling package JAGS (“Just Another Gibbs Sampler”). JAGS is …

Two-choice response times are a common type of data, and much research has been
devoted to the development of process models for such data. However, the practical …

I describe a cognitive latent variable model, a combination of a cognitive model and a latent
variable model that can be used to aggregate information regarding cognitive parameters …

In Breaking the Surface, Doug Bailey offers a radical alternative for understanding Neolithic
houses, providing much-needed insight not just into prehistoric practice, but into another …

Interest in convexity has a long history in vision science. For smooth contours in an image, it
is possible to code regions of positive (convex) and negative (concave) curvature, and this …

The aim of this large-scale study was to find out which points along the contour of a shape
are most salient and why. Many subjects (N= 161) were asked to mark salient points on …

To study the dynamic interplay between different component processes involved in the
identification of fragmented object outlines, the authors used a discrete-identification …

Although Attneave (1954 Psychological Review 61 183–193) and Biederman (1987
Psychological Review 94 115–147) have argued that curved contour segments are most …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of complexity and symmetry on shape
recognition, by measuring the recognition of unfamiliar shapes (created using Fourier …
