Question: How did the researchers model the impact of temporal expectations on decision-making in their study?

Answer: The researchers examined the impact of temporal expectations on latent aspects of decision-making by fitting the DDM (Drift Diffusion Model) to participants’ behavioral data, using a hierarchical Bayesian model fitting procedure. The DDM is a prominent mathematical model of simple decisions, which can parsimoniously account for RT distributions and choice data across a wide array of tasks. The model assumes that noisy sensory evidence is accumulated over time until one of two opposing bounds is reached, at which point a decision is made in favor of the corresponding decision.
