The power law (y= ax− b) has been shown to provide a good description of data collected in
a wide range of fields in psychology. RB Anderson and Tweney (1997) suggested that the …

Van Breukelen (this issue) provides an approach to using both response time (RT) and
accuracy for (1) measuring latent abilities of participants even when they may trade speed …

Recent work has shown that the power function, a ubiquitous characteristic of learning,
memory, and sensation, can emerge from the arithmetic averaging of exponential curves. In …

Les tests de signification de l'hypothèse nulle sont communément utilisés pour établir un
lien entre la preuve empirique et l'interprétation théorique. Cependant, cette stratégie est …

Background: During the 20th century the alpha coefficient (α) was widely used in the
