The ventriloquist in periphery: impact of eccentricity-related reliability on audio-visual localization. (2013, background): “…also calculated the Inverse Efficiency (IE) scores which constitute a standard approach to combine mean RTs and accuracy measures of performance (Townsend & Ashby, 1978) and can be considered as ‘‘corrected reaction times’’ that discount possible criterion shifts or speed/ accuracy trade-offs…”
The Role of Fronto‐Central Theta Oscillations in Inter‐Sensory Selective Attention (2025, unknown): “Proportion of error (PE) was calculated and combined with RT using the inverse efficiency score (IES) equation: IES = RT ∕ 1 − PE (Townsend and Ashby 1978).”
Parietal Alpha Oscillatory Peak Frequency Mediates the Effect of Practice on Visuospatial Working Memory Performance (2022, methodology): “using the inverse efficiency score (IES), an index combining reaction times (RTs) and accuracy, by adjusting each participant’s mean reaction time according to their own accuracy rate [77,78].”
