Signal detection theory seeks to explain how detection moves toward decision-making. 4. Modern applications rely heavily on threshold measurement, ideal observer analysis, and signal detection theory . 5. Sort of a nifty trick which is very useful in statistics and detection theory . 6. The AJP called his 1964 article, " Stimulus-Oriented Approach to Detection Theory , " a classic. 7. This relates to signal-detection theory , and accounts for recollected items being perceived as'older'than familiar items. 8. His research focused on modern information and signal-detection theories , which analyze the flow of sensory information. 9.
