Signal Detection Theory investigates how we perceive stimuli when we are uncertain of its presence, and instructional bias is how we can be biased in our perception of this stimuli. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects that two different sets of instructions have on two groups of people when deciding whether or not stimuli had been presented previously and they are unsure of the correct answer. The conclusion drawn is that the instructions given affected the participants’ criterion for judging the stimuli.
