PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -If the signal is present the person can decide that it is present or absent. These outcomes are called hits and misses. If the signal is absent the person can still decide that the signal is either present or absent. These are called false alarms or correct rejections (CR) respectively.

Detailed explanation-2: -Signal detection theory (often abridged as SDT) is used to analyze data coming from experiments where the task is to categorize ambiguous inputs which can be generated either by a known process (called the signal) or be obtained by chance (called the noise in the SDT framework).

Detailed explanation-3: -The leading explanation: signal detection theory, which at its most basic, states that the detection of a stimulus depends on both the intensity of the stimulus and the physical/psychological state of the individual. Basically, we notice things based on how strong they are and on how much we’re paying attention.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sensation occurs when sensory receptors detect sensory stimuli. Perception involves the organization, interpretation, and conscious experience of those sensations.
