Abstract

We show that our item-based model, competitive guided search, accounts for the empirical patterns that Hulleman & Olivers (H&O) invoke against item-based models, and we highlight recently reported diagnostic data that challenge their approach. We advise against "forsaking the item" unless and until a full fixation-based model is shown to be superior to extant item-based models.
