What is signal detection theory? Be sure to include in your answer the four possibilities in
judging the presence or the absence of a signal and how they relate to the ROC curve.
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should begin by defining what signal detection means [discriminating a
stimulus from noise while taking into consideration the participant's willingness to report the
presence of the stimulus (response bias)]. Next, the answer should describe the four possibilities
in judging the presence or absence of a signal (see Figure 6.3 on page 158). Finally, the answer
should describe the ROC curve and its relation to these possibilities.
