About this document
Understanding Signal Detection Theory by Ben Hatton is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. Signal detection theory examines both the presence or absence of a stimulus and whether the receiver detected it or not, leading to four possible outcomes: hit, false alarm, miss, and correct rejection. 2. These outcomes allow researchers to calculate important metrics like hit rate, false alarm rate, miss rate, and correct rejection rate to understand perceptual sensitivity and decision-making style. 3. The theory provides advantages over absolute threshold theory by accounting for noise in the data
