    In absolute identification tasks, researchers found that as less stimulus information is provided, current responses increasingly depend on previous stimuli and responses. This suggests a limited capacity in how people process information during decision-making.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Human Information Processing
    • Psychophysics

    Background:

    • Understanding response dependencies is crucial for modeling cognitive processes.
    • Previous research suggests external information influences decision-making.
    • The role of sequential dependencies in absolute identification tasks requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify the dependency of current responses on preceding stimuli and responses.
    • To investigate how manipulated stimulus information affects response dependency.
    • To explore the implications of these dependencies for information processing capacity.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted two absolute identification experiments.
    • Utilized multivariate information transmission to measure response dependencies.

  • Manipulated the amount of stimulus information (Sn) available to subjects.

    • Main Results:

    • Response dependency on prior stimuli (Sn-1) and responses (Rn-1) was inversely proportional to current stimulus information (Sn).
    • Less stimulus information led to greater reliance on previous trial information.
    • The total information transmission to the current response (Rn) remained constant at approximately 2.5 bits.

    Conclusions:

    • Findings support the theory that reduced external information increases reliance on internal or sequential factors.
    • The constant sum of information transmission suggests a limited-capacity response mechanism.
    • This limited capacity may constrain how individuals integrate information over time in identification tasks.
