Abstract

The theory of signal detection (TSD) has been applied to a number of areas besides sensory psychophysics, including learning, memory, attention, and clinical psychology (Pastore & Scheirer, 1974). PSYCHIC represents the application of TSD to ESP research. Instead of asking subjects to decide whether or not a signal was presented, PSYCHIC asks subjects to predict if a signal (i.e., the ringing of the bell on the computer terminal) will be presented.
