- Summary
- The book is divided into two main sections, the first comprising Chapters 1 to 5, and the second, Chapters 6 to 8. The first section introduces the basic ideas of detection theory and its fundamental measures. The aim is to enable the reader to be able to understand and compute these measures. The section ends with a detailed working through of a typical experiment and a discussion of some of the problems which can arise for the potential user of detection theory. The second section considers three more advanced topics. The first of these, which is treated thoroughly elsewhere in the literature, is threshold theory. The second topic concerns the extension of detection theory, which customarily requires experiments using more open-ended procedures, such as recall; and the third topic is an examination of Thurstonian scaling procedures which extend signal detection theory in a number of useful ways.
