Psychophysical methods differ in task type and time-to-result

Evidence

The dependence of performance on change time suggests a dynamical integration mechanism to play a role in the decision process. While the dependence on change time indicates an ongoing estimation of the initial statistics, it does not provide much insight into the estimation of the post-change statistics. We hypothesized that reaction times here could be informative. Reaction times had previously been demonstrated to depend on task difficulty (Kiani et al. 2014 ), and difficulty in the present paradigm correlates inversely with the availability of a greater difference in change size, i.e. statistics (Fig. 2a ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3333 (#expands, via linked claim)
