Abstract

Interest in the processes that mediate between stimuli and responses is at the heart of most modern psychology and neuroscience. These processes cannot be directly measured but instead must be inferred from observed responses. Race models, through their ability to account for both response choices and response times, have been a key enabler of such inferences. Examples of such models appeared contemporaneously with the cognitive revolution, and since then have become increasingly prominent and elaborated, so that psychologists now have a powerful array of race models at their disposal. We showcase the state of the art for race models and describe why and how they are used.
