Multinomial Modeling and the Measurement of Cognitive Processes.

Riefer, David M.; Batchelder, William H.

Psychological Review, v95 n3 p318-39 Jul 1988

Multinomial modeling--a methodology that can be used to measure and study cognitive processes--is discussed, and applications are presented. This statistically based technique involves estimating hypothetical parameters that represent the probabilities of unobservable cognitive events and is compatible with computational theories of cognition.
