SIGNAL DETECTION IN FIXED-RATIO SCHEDULES

M RILLING et al. Science. .

Abstract

A psychophysical choice technique can be used to measure discrimination of the stimuli produced by two fixed-ratio schedules. As the difference between the two ratios is reduced, the number of errors in discrimination increases. The analysis differentiates between discrimination and response bias, which are frequently confused in animal psychophysics.
