An extension of Osuna’s model for stress caused by waiting. (English) Zbl 1168.91516

Summary: A new theoretical approach to stimulus identification is proposed through a probabilistic multidimensional model based on the maximum information entropy principle. The approach enables us to derive the multidimensional scaling (MDS) choice model, without appealing to Luce’s choice rule and without defining a similarity function. It also clarifies the relationship between the MDS choice model and the optimal version of the identification model based on Ashby’s general recognition theory; it is shown theoretically that the identification model derived from the new approach includes these two models as special cases. Finally, as an application of our approach, a model of similarity judgment is proposed and compared with Ashby’s extended similarity model.
