Converting Activations to Reaction Times



  • How to map network activations to reaction times?
  • Cohen et al used an iterative procedure.
  • Assume that the output unit with the highest activation value would be the response given.
  • Assume that response time is proportional to one minus the activation of that unit.
  • Use the following equation to calculate response times (The variable A represents the activation of the winning unit).
    RT = C (1 - A) + RTmin
  • C - the proportionality constant
  • RTmin - minimum reaction time
