Session 1: I will reflect on criteria for evaluating models before data collection (Jekel, in press; Glöckner & Betsch, 2011). We will also discuss why process models are especially helpful for comparing competitor models: Whereas competitor models often predict similar outcomes for (e.g.) decisions between options in a probabilistic inference task, they may differ fundamentally in their assumptions about the process that leads to a decision. I will use the Parallel-constraint Satisfaction Model of Decision Making (Glöckner, Hilbig, & Jekel, 2014) and iCodes (Jekel, Glöckner, & Bröder, 2018) for illustration.

Session 2: I will introduce you to the Euclidian Diagnostic Task Selection (EDTS; Jekel, Fiedler, & Glöckner, 2011). EDTS allows researches to find tasks that optimally differentiate between competitor models by taking process measures into account. I will also introduce you to the Multiple-Measure Maximum Likelihood strategy classification method (MM-ML; Jekel, Nicklisch, & Glöckner, 2010; Glöckner & Jekel, in press). MM-ML allows researchers to integrate outcome and process measures in a single measure of model fit. Extensions, recent developments, and open challenges in testing process models will be briefly discussed.

Session 3: We will apply EDTS and MM-ML in R using data from our lab.
