The 25 pages that link to Signal detection theory, each with the reason it gives.

• Signal-to-noise ratioRelated: It explains how the same measured ratio can support different detection decisions.

• PerceptionRelated: It separates perceptual sensitivity from decision criteria in detection tasks.

• BioacousticsRelated: It helps explain how animals detect calls against background sound.

• PsychophysicsRelated: It distinguishes sensory ability from response bias in detection tasks.

• Sensory ecologyRelated: It explains how animals detect meaningful cues when environmental noise obscures them.

• SensationRelated: It separates sensory sensitivity from decision criteria in judgments of stimulus presence.

• Batesian mimicryRelated: It helps describe how predators decide whether ambiguous prey resemble dangerous models.

• CrypsisRelated: It clarifies how concealment changes the chance that a target will be detected.

• Acoustic communicationRelated: It explains how receivers decide whether a faint sound is a signal or background noise.

• Alarm callRelated: Callers and listeners face different costs when threats are missed or falsely detected.

• BlindsightRelated: It helps separate genuine visual discrimination from guessing or a liberal response strategy.

• Information designRelated: It clarifies how contrast and clutter affect the visibility of critical information.

• PareidoliaRelated: It frames pareidolia as a possible false alarm when ambiguous input is judged as a meaningful signal.

• Odor thresholdRelated: Odor detection thresholds depend on how experiments define a detectable response.

• Sensory biologyRelated: It explains how sensory sensitivity and decision criteria affect detection.

• ApopheniaRelated: Its threshold trade-off explains why detecting more patterns also produces more false alarms.

• Communication (biology)Related: Receivers must decide how to respond when signals are faint, ambiguous, or risky to miss.

• Alarm deviceRelated: It explains the trade-off between missing hazards and triggering unnecessary warnings.

• Phantom vibration syndromeRelated: It explains why expecting an alert can make a weak sensation seem like a phone vibration.
