Modeling selective attention with the Dual-Stage Two-Phase (DSTP) model

The DSTP model is a formal (diffusion process) model of response selection that also includes the interaction of early and late stimulus-selection processes. It is assumed that attentional selectivity increases discretely during response selection rather than gradually.
