It can measure not only people’s reaction of signal stimulate, but also noise simulate. Thus, it can distinguish sensitivity from criterion of judgment and express them in different data. 1.3 Experiment meaning American psychologists W.P.Tanner and J.A.Swets use signal detection theory in the procedure of human’s perception which led psychological physics to a new period.

For evaluate method, participants are required to determine whether there is signal or not, at the same time, they have to evaluate their choice according to a certain class, that is how much degree are they sure about their decision. Compared with the other method of signal detection theory, using evaluate method can obtain more information of participant at the same time. We can get more than two criteria, and in that case, we can draw ROC lines after one experiment.
