Question

What psychophysics term is than an example of?

Layla hopes to see a shooting star tonight. Her chances will depend on whether a shooting star is present (or whether a meteor shower occurs), whether the sky is clear, and whether she would be able to judge the presence of a shooting star as it passes.

Answer 1

signal detection theory

Step-by-step explanation:

Signal Detection Theory is a method of reasoning and decision making at the point of uncertainty. The signal detection determines quantity of sensitivity during sensory-perceptual tasks to analyze effectively.

Layla's response is based on stimuli produced due to the possibility of seeing a shooting star. She judges looking at the clear sky based upon the uncertainty principle involved in Signal Detection Theory.
