Hit |
Response to target stimulus in correct location |
Miss |
Non-response to target stimulus |
Incorrect |
Response to target stimulus but in wrong location |
Correct Rejection (CR) |
Correct non-response to non-target stimulus |
False alarm (FA) |
Incorrect response to non-target stimulus |
Premature response |
Response to no stimuli during the inter-trial interval |
Mean reaction time (RT) |
Mean latencies to correct responses |
Variable RT |
Standard deviation of the RT |
Hit rate (HR) |
Proportion of correct responses to target stimuli |
False alarm rate (FAR) |
Proportion of incorrect responses to non-target stimuli |
Vigilance (d′)
|
Parametric measure examining the difference between Hit and False alarm rates to determine performance |
Responsivity index (RI) |
Non-parametric measure examining the combination of Hit and False alarm rates to determine responsivity to stimuli |
Accuracy |
Proportion of correct compared to incorrect responses |
% Omissions |
Percentage of misses/lapses |
