信号检测理论（TSD）的一个默认但基本的假设是，准则的放置是一个无噪声的过程。本文从理论和经验的角度挑战了这一假设，提出了信号检测的噪声决策理论（ND-TSD）。推导了等敏函数和包含判据可变性的判别测度的广义方程，并研究了该模型与现有判别任务决策模型的关系。一项评估单词刺激集合的识别记忆的实验表明，标准噪声在大小上不是琐碎的，并且对等敏函数的斜率的方差有很大的贡献。我们讨论了ND-TSD如何帮助解释识别记忆中当前和历史上的一些难题，包括学习操作与等敏函数斜率之间的不一致关系，偏差或收益操作的斜率缺乏不变性，老化对识别决策过程的影响，以及记忆/知道决策任务中的响应性质。ND-TSD对识别和决策理论提出了新的、理论上有意义的约束，并为采用确定性响应规则的决策理论和假设概率响应规则的决策理论之间的和解提供了一种机制。
A tacit but fundamental assumption of the Theory of Signal Detection (TSD) is that criterion placement is a noise-free process. This paper challenges that assumption on theoretical and empirical grounds and presents the Noisy Decision Theory of Signal Detection (ND-TSD). Generalized equations for the isosensitivity function and for measures of discrimination that incorporate criterion variability are derived, and the model's relationship with extant models of decision-making in discrimination tasks is examined. An experiment that evaluates recognition memory for ensembles of word stimuli reveals that criterion noise is not trivial in magnitude and contributes substantially to variance in the slope of the isosensitivity function. We discuss how ND-TSD can help explain a number of current and historical puzzles in recognition memory, including the inconsistent relationship between manipulations of learning and the slope of the isosensitivity function, the lack of invariance of the slope with manipulations of bias or payoffs, the effects of aging on the decision-making process in recognition, and the nature of responding in Remember/Know decision tasks. ND-TSD poses novel and theoretically meaningful constraints on theories of recognition and decision-making more generally, and provides a mechanism for rapprochement between theories of decision-making that employ deterministic response rules and those that postulate probabilistic response rules.
