Description: Detection Theory: A User's Guide is an introduction to one of the most important tools for the analysis of data where choices must be made and performance is not perfect. In these cases detection theory can transform judgments about subjective experiences such as perceptions and memories into quantitative data ready for analysis and modeling. For beginners the first three chapters introduce measuring detection and discrimination evaluating decision criteria and the utility of receiver operating characteristics. Later chapters cover more advanced research paradigms including: complete tools for application including flowcharts tables and software; student - friendly language; complete coverage of content area including both one - dimensional and multidimensional models; integrated treatment of threshold and nonparametric approaches; an organized tutorial level introduction to multidimensional detection theory; and popular discrimination paradigms presented as applications of multidimensional detection theory. This modern summary of signal detection theory is both a self - contained reference work for users and a readable text for graduate students and researchers learning the material either in courses or on their own.
