Latency operating characteristics, showing variation in mean standardized values of the five candidate BIAT scoring algorithms across deciles of the sample's distribution of average speed of responding for the political BIAT.

<p>Pretreatment of the data involved removing 4 warm-up trials per block, latencies slower than 10s, and latencies faster than 400 ms. There were 202 or 203 respondents in each decile. The most noticeable effects visible in the graph are improvement in performance of the reciprocal measure relative to its poor showing in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0110938#pone-0110938-g002" target="_blank">Fig. 2</a>, and the contrast between the relative stability across speed variations for four of the measures and the increasing magnitude of the (untransformed) latency-difference measure as responding went from fast (left of graph) to slow.
