Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The serial self-terminating search model posits that when a person is searching for a target among distractors, they will stop searching once the target is found, hence the term "self-terminated." This model does not specify a starting point or direction for the search, nor does it suggest that search time decreases with increased set size.
