Dear TIPSters, I am currently teaching about the Theory of Signal Detectability, Stevens's Power Law, and ROC curves in my Sensation and Perception course. Do any of you have any examples that you work on in class or use to illustrate how to implement them? I want to do several things. First, I want to be able to explain the logic of SDT, the power law, and ROCs. Second, I want to be able to make the topics relevant and convince the students that these concepts are active in their daily lives. And third, I want to give them some opportunities to practice. I've already talked about hits, misses, false alarms, and correct rejections in class, and using payoffs to manipulate response criteria, now I want to make it all applicable.I welcome any and all ideas.
Thank you very much.
