Description

Originally developed for evaluation of electronic detection, detection theory was adopted by psychologists as a way to understand sensory decision-making and has been used in areas as diverse as animal behavior and X-ray diagnosis. This resource for students, behavioral scientists and other researchers explains the basic principles of detection theory. Both one-dimensional and multidimensional models are discussed. The second edition features a new chapter on ideal observers and updated material on adaptive threshold measurement.
