A basic understanding of Signal Detection Theory (SDT) and Psychophysics has become essential for anyone with a serious interest in experimental psychology. This book remains a very useful source for advanced researchers and those with mathematical sophistication.

The book could be the basic text in a one-semester graduate or upper level undergraduate course. However some undergraduates may find it too detailed if they simply want to get a basic understanding of SDT.
