| Abstract | This paper introduces a preliminary model of reaction time that is derived from dynamic system theory. This alternative for the random walk model of reaction time applies another definition of information change and, as a consequence, another stop-criterion. Where the random walk in random walk models stops when a bound is reached, the walk in the dynamical model stops when it converges, or, in other words, when the system recovers stability. The mathematical formulation of the dynamical model is not yet complete. However, by computer simulation it can be shown that the model yields correct predictions about the reaction time distribution. First we will explain the background of this new model of reaction time, then the model is explained and compared with the traditional random walk model. |
