A critical component of how we understand a mental process is given by measuring the effect of varying the workload. The capacity coefficient (Townsend & Nozawa, 1995; Townsend & Wenger, 2004) is a measure on response times for quantifying changes in performance due to workload. Despite its precise mathematical foundation, until now rigorous statistical tests have been lacking. In this paper, we demonstrate statistical properties of the components of the capacity measure and propose a significance test for comparing the capacity coefficient to a baseline measure or two capacity coefficients to each other.

工作负载容量分析的统计量度

我们如何理解心理过程的一个关键组成部分是通过测量不同工作量的影响来给出的。容量系数（Townsend 和 Nozawa，1995 年；Townsend 和 Wenger，2004 年）是对响应时间的度量，用于量化工作负载导致的性能变化。尽管有精确的数学基础，但到目前为止还缺乏严格的统计测试。在本文中，我们展示了容量度量组件的统计特性，并提出了一个显着性检验，用于将容量系数与基线度量或两个容量系数相互比较。
