Why is a real psychometric function not a step function?

Detection of Stimulus is always subject to chance

Detection of Stimulus is always subject to noise

It is already a step function

Detection of Stimulus is always subject to Criterion

More false alarms means

Lax criterion

Strict criterion

Larger the d' the

Easier to detect signal

Harder to detect signal

D' is calculated by

Z-score of hits - z-score of misses

Z-score of hits - z-score of false alarms

Z-score of hits - z-score of correct rejections

Z-score of correct rejections - z-score of misses

If a d' = 0

The curves are far apart no longer touching

The curves are overlapping

How do you calculate Specificity

Hits divided by all presents

Hits divided by all absents

Correct rejections divided by all presents

Correct rejections divided by all absents
