Model Approach

An organization with two grades subjected to loss of man-power due to the policy decisions taken by the organization is considered. Three mathematical models are constructed using an univariate recruitment policy, based on shock model approach involving optional and mandatory thresholds for the loss of man-power in each grade. The system performance measures namely mean and variance of time to recruitment are obtained for all the models when (i) the loss of man-hours form a sequence of independent and identically distributed exponential random variables (ii) the inter-decision times form an order statistics according as the optional thresholds follow exponential or extended exponential and the distribution of mandatory thresholds possess SCBZ property. The analytical results are numerical illustrated and the influence of nodal parameters on the performance measures is also reported.

Abstract. Processing fluency, a metacognitive feeling of ease of cognitive processing, serves as a cue in various types of judgments. Processing fluency is sometimes evaluated by response times, with shorter response times indicating higher fluency. The present study examined existence of the opposite association; that is, it tested whether disfluency may lead to faster decision times when it serves as a strong cue in judgment. Retrieval fluency was manipulated in an experiment using previous presentation and phonological fluency by varying pronounceability of pseudowords. Participants liked easy-to-pronounce and previously presented words more. Importantly, their decisions were faster for hard-to-pronounce and easy-to-pronounce pseudowords than for pseudowords moderate in pronounceability. The results thus showed an inverted-U shaped relationship between fluency and decision times. The findings suggest that disfluency can lead to faster decision times and thus demonstrate the importance of separating different processes comprising judgment when response times are used as a measure of processing fluency.
