Answer: The addition of variability in input strengths allows the diffusion model to produce slow errors, where error RTs are longer than correct RTs when response accuracy is emphasized and the decision is relatively difficult.

This requires a third source of variability, between-trial variability in either the criterion, to be incorporated into the diffusion model.

The likelihood is assumed to be proportional to the squared difference between observation and the prediction by model at time t, and the algorithm effectively performs an ensemble of updates, each member using a fixed value of α, which is the transition probability parameter.

Question: What are the potential impacts and constraints of integrating a community stadium into the Northstowe site?

Answer: Appropriately designed development within the Northstowe site could potentially have no greater impact than the town itself, although issues would need to be addressed through the master planning process. Transport impacts would need to be addressed, including parking. Constraints of the A14 could mean there would only be highway capacity later in the plan period. Conflict with the desire of Cambridge United for a Cambridge location is also a concern. Opportunities for good public transport access provided by the guided bus (and links to the new station) exist, but the site is 8km from Cambridge City Centre, limiting walking and cycling access from Cambridge. Potential to incorporate a stadium and additional community uses such as sports pitches may be limited by the ability of the site to accommodate additional uses beyond those already planned for the town.

Question: What was the issue with the ATB testing for Student # 3 according to SFAP, and how did Ganaye respond to this finding?

Answer: SFAP found that the school does not have proper documentation of when the ATB test was administered and that it was properly administered, as the independent test administrator did not date the certification and the student's name does not appear on the appropriate Wonderlic Quarterly Report.
