While the original formulation of Green and Swets was designed only to account for the accuracy of choice data, a rich body of experimental and theoretical work subsequently extended the insights of signal detection theory into dynamical models in which evidence is accumulated gradually over time during single trials.

Many perceptual decisions are inevitably subject to the tradeoff between speed and accuracy of choices (SAT).
56 The area under the curve is an index of sensitivity and specificity across score thresholds, and is currently considered the accuracy estimate of choice in violence risk assessment when measuring predictive accuracy.
In this study, an established exotic host/parasitoid system was used to assess the outcomes and predictive accuracy of no-choice compared to paired choice tests within small laboratory arenas.
Figure 5: Logistic regression coefficients of pre-stimulus bias and expected value differences predicting accuracy of simulated choices.
Thus, if between-trial variability is relatively high, as long as the accumulation process starts far enough from the decision bound, starting even further from the decision bound can make very little difference in the accuracy of behavioral choices.
Overall, our study provides novel insights into the flexibility with which human decision makers choose between speed and accuracy of their choices.
Fitting the proportional-rate diffusion model to the data clearly showed a coupling between stimulus difficulty and the speed and accuracy of perceptual choices in both the RTP and RDM tasks (see the supplementary materials for the parameter values).
Since several factors affect the description and the prediction accuracy of the mode choice behaviours, selecting a suitable discrete choice model with good interpretation ability appears to be very critical.
Such a manipulation is associated with the typical signatures of changes in the response time (RT) and accuracy of the perceptual choice: By stressing the importance of speed, choices will be faster, but more prone to errors (a speed accuracy trade-off; e.g., Forstmann et al., 2008; Palmer et al., 2005).
For the designs with 8 and 12 possible choices, the mean accuracies of the choices were 95.3% and 88.5%, respectively.
