Detection theory

Change detection is a famous theory that was first presented by Dr. Ronald A. Rensink. One of the central problems change detection was set out to solve was a change blindness, the obliviousness to change in particular visual stimuli. Explicitly, an individual can be presented with identical photographs, but one has a minor difference. Change blindness is regarded as the cause if a participant doesn't manage to discern the change between the pictures. In a study conducted by (Rensink, 2002) revealed evidence confirming the presence of a change blindness. (Rensink, 2002) created a flicker paradigm that tested an individuals ability to decipher elusive changes among an alternation of photographs. Originally, Resink was interested in finding…

Introduction Signal detection theory (SDT) can be useful for many different situations, specifically two choice tasks which deal with performance (Turner, Zandt&Brown, 2011). Signal detection theory also has the ability to determine how well individuals can detect and discriminate information (DeCarlo, 2002). Signal detection theory is often used as a tool for decision making as well (Lynn&Barrett, 2014). Signal detection theory can help describe how individuals separate meaningful information…

A micro expression is a tiny facial cue that appears within one-fifth of a second. It is uncontrollable and shows an observer signs of every emotion. It shows signs of deceit as well. Usually these are undetectable, but with some training they can be detected and used in investigations. Therefore, facial micro-expressions should be admissible in federal investigations. We need a replacement for polygraphs, and micro-expressions are a fine candidate. The previously used lie detector, the…

Wolf” “there is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth”. Feelings, this is a very complex to explain; briefly it is an emotional state or reaction, it could also be a belief of some type, and it is just plain out showing emotion or sensitivity. This one is straight forward when involving lies and how a person would feel after. Feelings are different depending on the person that is experiencing each circumstance, for example, feelings before a test could be confident or nervous,…

a) How does the research question address the article? The research question does address the article; clearly, each of the authors journal provide how, “theories of prosocial behavior among humans and non-humans social interactive behaviors has a greater emphasis placed on the role of social affiliation in motivating aid, particularly during everyday interpersonal contexts.” b) Why was this research carried out? The research was carried out in order to reveal, the methods and purpose for…

For instance, many paradigms in lie detection studies include memory confounds, which make it difficult to isolate the brain processes specific to deception. Farah et al. (2014, p. 125) cite a study by Gamer et al. as an example of this, in that Gamer et al. found showing participants pictures they had previously memorized resulted in activation in the same brain areas that are often implicated in studies of deception. Satel and Lilienfeld (2013, p. 79) cite an additional memory confound in that…

concentration of Triton-X to be 0.05%, so 1 mL of 0.5% was added to the final 10 mL matrix. Dr. Doolittle’s handout suggested that the optimal dithizone concentration was 50 μM in 10 mL, so 0.5 mL of 1μM dithizone was added to the matrix. 1 mL of solution was added to the matrix, along with 3 mL of water. In previous trials, 0.5 mL of buffer was added to solution (and water was added appropriately to get to 10 mL); however, this was later modified (see table below), as it was crucial to main a…

technology that could potentially grow into a huge part of our legal system and even now it is moving forward at a rapid pace and continuing to develop. We have made various discoveries and we have created ways to not only make our lives much easier but also to create reliable detections that could serve us in the courtroom. However, many argue that these advance technologies may not be as reliable as we would hope, which raises a big concern…

Brunetta and Guastalla (2000) gave a concept of free flight after their study on traffic network congestion which results in the ground holding policies that are quotient, on the other hand, Hormann (2001) focused on the cultural, organizational and behavioral elements of the aviation safety crew. In other research and examinations, Mathews and Kauzlarich (2000) centred on the ValuJet Flight 592 crash and performed a case study on the airline; Changa & Yang (2011) in their study were concerned…

warrant. The case that brought this to be was Florida v. Jardines. Jardines’ front door was closed and Franky the chocolate Labrador got a good enough whiff of what was inside. He sat down at the front door, which indicated he smelled drugs. Police felt that provided enough ground to obtain a search warrant, and they arrested Jardines with more than $700,000 worth of marijuana (Gray). Jardines’ attorney argued Franky’s sniff was unreasonable and does not constitute with the protection guaranteed…
