Dave is having his ears checked. Tones of varying frequencies are administered either to his left ear or to his right ear. A tone beeps in his left ear, and Dave reports that he hears a tone. According to signal detection theory, he has just had a .

The correct answer is miss

The Signal Detection Theory (TSD) provides an effective method of analyzing performance in signal identification in the presence of noise. One of the most well-known applications of TSD is in the area of memory, specifically in recognition tests. By allowing you to calculate the sensitivity to the existence of certain attributes associated with the signal and the degree of specificity of its detection, TSD facilitates the understanding of the response patterns obtained in memory tests. This article provides a detailed review of TSD and its associated assumptions and measures, allowing for an adequate use of the theory in yes / no recognition paradigms and in forced choice paradigms.
