Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the expectation of a stimulus is weak, there is a higher chance of missing the stimulus because it may not be detected even if it is present. This is because the threshold for detecting the stimulus is high when the expectation is weak. A miss is a type of signal-detection error in which the stimulus is present but not detected.
