    Drift Diffusion Model

    Uploaded by

    The Drift Diffusion Model (DDM) is a mathematical model that simulates the decision-making process between two alternatives. It models how evidence is accumulated over time from a starting point until a decision boundary is reached. The model's parameters include non-decision time, drift rate, boundary separation, and starting point. Ratcliff and McKoon's 2008 paper is often used as the reference for applying the DDM to analyze reaction time data from two-choice decision tasks and assess how response times are influenced by evidence quality. The student's thesis aims to test the DDM by transferring classic two-choice experiments into virtual reality environments and analyzing the data with Python.
