Does anyone know or have some literature to recommend, as to how to compare behavioral reaction to deviant vs standard stimuli? There are 9 deviants vs 36 standards per block, and 3 blocks.
You may consider the vast literature on Rasch Measurement that gives both quality control statistics for what a linear behavioral response would normally be, and how far the raw data deviate from the theoretical ideal. Further, Linacre's Many Facet Rasch Model gives a powerful framework to calibrate the stimuli on the same ruler as the behaviors (and any other facets of interest)
Importantly, work has been done to diagnose the reason for these patterns of deviations that might also be useful for behaviors and latent constructs.
