Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Response bias refers to a participant's tendency to give more false alarms or misses. It is a cognitive aspect of Signal Detection Theory and can be easily changed through instructions or practice. In contrast, absolute threshold and difference threshold are sensory aspects of Signal Detection Theory and are relatively fixed in individuals. Accuracy is influenced by both sensory and cognitive aspects and may not be easily changed without addressing both.
