Hf lecture 8 end of material for midterm. Signal detection: emotions/experiences, personal bias can change your response, responses are influenced by your history, signal detection works for all senses, signal relevant information, something you need to focus on, everything else is interfering (noise) On a canoe and looking for a signal (flashlight), there may be noise (not enough light to see(cid:895) a(cid:374)d (cid:448)aria(cid:271)ilit(cid:455) (cid:894)so(cid:373)eti(cid:373)es (cid:455)ou(cid:859)ll the sig(cid:374)al, so(cid:373)eti(cid:373)es (cid:455)ou (cid:449)o(cid:374)(cid:859)t, depe(cid:374)ds o(cid:374) the amount of neural activation) In the middle, the vertical line (xc) represent the threshold or criteria level.
