DESCRIPTION:Prof. Michael HERZOG\nIn a typical experiment on decision maki
 ng  one out of two possible stimuli is presented per trial. Observers deci
 de which one was presented. The underlying decision making process is comm
 only viewed as a one-stage process in which sensory evidence for both stim
 ulus alternatives is accumulated until evidence for one of the stimuli cro
 sses a threshold ("race-to-threshold process"). Using a two-stimulus prese
 ntation paradigm  we found that decision making is a two-stage process in 
 which evidence integration precedes a race-to-threshold process. This evid
 ence integration stage is "invisible" in one-stimulus presentation paradig
 ms which  thus  underestimate the duration of the entire decision making p
 rocess.
