Document Summary
Signal detection theory development of radar, sonar, hearing tests. Accuracy = times you correctly heard it (hits) times you thought you heard it (false alarm) 2 (doesn t count for guessing and therefore inflates accuracy) A little more complicated dt = z (h rate) z (fa rate) A = h2 + fa2 + 3 h fa 4 fa h, only if h fa. A = h - h2 + fa fa2, if h < fa. Accuracy = correct recognition false recognition rejection. Response bias = tend to remember things to not seen (+)/not commit unless sure (-) Accuracy = ability to tell if gay or straight. Response bias: tend to think everyone is straight (+)/tend to think everyone is gay (-) Some groups are perceptually obvious: race, sex, age. Know very little about how we process these. May offer insight to processes used to categorize others, generally.
