--- abstract: "In signal detection theory (SDT), responses are governed by perceptual noise and\r\na flexible decision criterion. Recent criticisms of SDT (see, eg, Balakrishnan, 1999) have\r\nidentified violations of its assumptions, and researchers have suggested that SDT\r\nfundamentally misrepresents perceptual and decision processes. We hypothesize that,\r\ninstead, these violations of SDT stem from decision noise: the inability to use deterministic\r\nresponse criteria. In order to investigate this hypothesis, we present a simple extension of ..." altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Mueller given: S.T. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Weidemann given: C.T. honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2008 date_type: published datestamp: 2011-12-16 00:57:00 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/77/14 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 7714 fileinfo: application/pdf;http://cogprints.org/7714/1/MuellerWeidemann2008.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: ~ lastmod: 2011-12-16 00:57:00 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 3 pagerange: 465-494 pubdom: TRUE publication: Psychonomic bulletin \& review publisher: Springer refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 9 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2011-12-16 00:57:00 subjects: - cog-psy succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: 'Decision noise: An explanation for observed violations of signal detection theory' type: journalp userid: 6246 volume: 15
