Signal Detection Theory and Psychophysics

David M. Green, John A. Swets · 1966

Wiley (New York)

Green and Swets's book on signal detection theory and psychophysics. The companion cites it for the principle that an observer that cannot discriminate falls back on priors and costs, attributing design when designers are common, not when an event looks designed. This describes how observers would cope under teleological saturation (C2).
