Basic features of the signal detection concept, depicted in an Excel spreadsheet. This is the spreadsheet used to produce Figures 1-3. Values in the first three rows of the spreadsheet can be modified to explore scenarios different from those presented in in the Figures. To reproduce Fig. 1 in the graphic labeled “A classical signal detection paradigm”, enter the threshold (d-prime) = 2 in the first row of the spreadsheet. To reproduce the values in Fig. 2, make sure that the costs in row 2 & 3 are both set to one and then successively enter the values 1, 1.5 and 3 into the threshold (d-prime) cell in the first row. To reproduce Figure 3, set the cost of severe event to 10 and then enter 1, 2 or 3 in the d-prime field. (XLSX 56 kb)
