What is the Absolute Difference in the context of Signal Detection Theory?
The minimum change in stimulation needed for perception
How is a Correct Rejection defined in the context of Signal Detection Theory?
Participant correctly identifies the stimulus as absent
In Signal Detection Theory, what does a False Alarm (FA) represent?
Participant incorrectly identifies the stimulus as present
