Abstract
Additional theoretical and experimental results are presented for a choice reaction time performance model described by Oilman (1966). A formula is given for estimating the latency distribution of true recognition responses from the results of a single session; the estimate is invariant with respect to changes in the proportion of “guess” responses and with respect to fluctuations in the latency distribution of guesses.
