Abstract

<p><b><i>A</i></b>. Resource decay function. The VP model assumes that the mean resource () for processing a single item declines as a power function of set size <i>N</i>, a trend characterized by two free parameters—initial resources () and decaying exponent (<i>a</i>). <b><i>B</i></b>. The resources across items or trials follow a gamma distribution with the mean resource () determined by the resource decay function (<b><i>A</i></b>) and the resource allocation variability (<i>τ</i>). Larger amounts of resources (<i>J</i>) indicate higher precision and therefore generate narrower von Mises distributions (three small axes indicating the precision equals to 5, 10 and 15 respectively) of stimulus measurement (<i>m</i>). The widths of the von Mises distributions indicate the degree of trial-by-trial sensory uncertainty. <b><i>C</i></b>. The eventual behavioral choice given the internal stimulus measurement (<i>m</i>) is also uncertain, following a von Mises distribution with the choice variability (<i>κ</i><sub><i>r</i></sub>) [<a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009544#pcbi.1009544.ref049" target="_blank">49</a>]. In the VP model, initial resources (), decaying exponent (<i>a</i>), resource allocation variability (<i>τ</i>) and choice variability (<i>κ</i><sub><i>r</i></sub>) are four free parameters to estimate (see details in SI and van den Berg <i>et al</i>.
