"Utilizing" signal detection theory.
What do inferring what a person is thinking or feeling, judging a defendant's guilt, and navigating a dimly lit room have in common? They involve perceptual uncertainty (e.g., a scowling face might indicate anger or concentration, for which different responses are appropriate) and behavioral risk (e.g., a cost to making the wrong response). Signal detection theory describes these types of decis...
متن کاملSignal Detection Theory (SDT)
Signal Detection Theory (often abridged as SDT) is used to analyze data coming from experiments where the task is to categorize ambiguous stimuli which can be generated either by a known process (called the signal) or be obtained by chance (called the noise in the SDT framework). For example a radar operator must decide if what she sees on the radar screen indicates the presence of a plane (the...
متن کاملA Primer of Signal Detection Theory
Preface There is hardly a field in psychology in which the effects of signal detection theory have not been felt. The authoritative work on the subject, Green's & Swets' Signal Detection Theory and Psycho-physics (New York: Wiley) appearedjn 1966, and is having a profound influence on method and theory in psychology. All this makes things exciting but rather difficult for undergraduate students...
متن کاملA variable sensitivity theory of signal detection.
Introduction This paper deals with an analysis of some simple detection experiments in terms of a theory that incorporates two separate but interdependent processes: an activation process and a decision process. The activation process specifies the relation between external stimulus events and hypothesized sensory states of the subject. The decision process specifies the subject's observable re...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
