Although response time is one of the most important index in psychological research, proper interpretation and analysis method for response time are not established. We made a response time model based on brain structure and physics model that can reproduce brain phenomenon concerning memory recall. Proposed model is not only a fitting function that can fit to empirical response time but also informative because the model predicts two kinds of error. The first type of error is attributed to the order of process and the second type of error is derived from the physics model. We performed an experiment using Stroop task and confirmed that there are many errors in trials which has wide distribution. This result corresponded to the prediction by proposed model. Then, the model might be a good model that captured the essence of decision-making phenomenon.
