Review of the diffusion model

Diffusion Decision Model: Current issues and history – In this paper we reviewed a number of topics including relationships among models, brief presentation, expanded judgments, collapsing bounds and urgency, optimality, and applications.

Annotated list of diffusion model publications – Many of our papers have research that is being used without the authors being aware of some of this history. Here is a list in which we describe each of our diffusion model papers in a couple of sentences.

Memory models – In this chapter we review the state of the global memory models from 2000.

Minimalist processing – A lot of our work in decision making, memory, priming and text processing is consistent with the view that a lot of human processing is minimal and passive.  This chapter shows the relationships between these domains.
