Answer: Signal detection theory

Step-by-step explanation:

Signal detection theory in rudimentary terms can be stated as the detection of stimulus depending upon both the psychological state of an individual and intensity of stimulus. In other words, an individual tends to notice or look at things which are mostly based on the fact how strong he/she is and how much they have been paying attention to.
