Document Summary
Study guide for the first examination (monday, 11 september 2010). Be able to answer the following questions and be familiar with the concepts involved in the answers. Review your homework and lab assignments and know the concepts included in them as well. Using the concepts in lab 1, draw a psychometric function illustrating discriminating dimmer and brighter lights from a standard light. Indicate on the graph how the discrimination threshold is defined: threshold value defined as the value where 50% of the stimuli are detected. 84% correct, for example: theoretically, a sensory threshold is a property of the detection model"s sensory process. Using the concepts in lab 2, illustrate a signal detection model describing recognition memory performance for familiar faces (s1) and unfamiliar faces (s0). Let s0 have a mean of 0. 0 and a standard deviation of 1. 0. Let the distance between the two means be about 1. 5.
