Abstract
The stop-signal paradigm is a popular procedure to investigate responseinhibition–the ability to stop ongoing responses. It consists of a choice responsetime (RT) task that is occasionally interrupted by a stop stimulussignaling participants to withhold their response. Performance in the stopsignalparadigm is often formalized as race between a set of go runners triggeredby the choice stimulus and a stop runner triggered by the stop signal.We investigated whether evidence-accumulation processes, which have beenwidely used in choice RT analysis, can serve as the runners in the stop-signalrace model and support the estimation of psychologically meaningful parameters.We examined two types of the evidence-accumulation architectures:the racing Wald model (Logan, Van Zandt, Verbruggen, & Wagenmakers, 2014) and a novel proposal based on the Lognormal race (Heathcote & Love,2012). Using a series of simulation studies and fits to empirical data, wefound that these models are not measurement models in the sense that thedata-generating parameters cannot be recovered in realistic experimentaldesigns.
