Signal Detection Theory

A means to quantify the ability to discern between information-bearing patterns and random noise that is characteristic of much stimuli.

Hit Rate

A measure of the frequency or proportion with which a correct detection or decision is made, often used in signal detection theory and other areas of decision-making research.

False Alarms

Instances in signal detection where a non-event is mistakenly perceived as an event, leading to an inappropriate response or alarm.
