Signal Detection Theory: Considerations for General Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
While there exist a number of papers describing the theory of signal detection, it appears that many psychologists are not aware of the ease with which signal detection theory can be applied, the range of applications possible, or the limitations of signal detection theory. This paper briefly summarizes the assumptions of signal detection theory and describes the procedures, the limitations, and practical considerations relevant to its application. A worked example of an application of signal detection theory to the study of cognitive processes is included.

Using Signal Detection Theory to Investigate the Impact of Mood Induction on Emotional Information Processing in High BAS/BIS Individuals
Objective: The main objective of this study was to investigate the explicit memory bias in the people with high BAS/BIS sensitivity in the different manipulated mood states. Methods: By using purposive sampling method, seventy-four participants (undergraduate students) were selected based on z-scores of 480 using the Carver and White’s BAS/BIS scale. They were distributed as: 24 wi...
متن کاملFault Detection Method on a Compressor Rotor Using the Phase Variation of the Vibration Signal
The aim of this work is the application of the phase variation in vibration signal for fault detection on rotating machines. The vibration signal from the machine is modulated in amplitude and phase around a carrier frequency. The modulating signal in phase is determined after the Hilbert transform and is used, with the Fast Fourier Transform, to extract the harmonics spectrum in phase. This me...

متن کاملApplication of Wavelet Transform as a Signal Processing Method for Defect Detection using Lamb Waves: Experimental Verification
A Lamb wave-based crack detection method for aluminum plates health monitoring is developed in this paper. Piezoelectric disks are employed to actuate and capture the Lamb wave signals. The position of crack is assumed to be aligned with the sensor and actuator. Extraction of high quality experimental results of lamb wave propagation in a plate-like structure is considerably complicated due to...
متن کاملApplication of Signal Processing Tools for Fault Diagnosis in Induction Motors-A Review-Part II
The use of efficient signal processing tools (SPTs) to extract proper indices for the fault detection in induction motors (IMs) is the essential part of any fault recognition procedure. The 2nd part of this two-part paper is, in turn, divided into two parts. Part two covers the signal processing techniques which can be applied to non-stationary conditions. In this paper, all utilized SPTs for n...
