Abstract
The theory of signal detectability predicts that uncertainty about signal parameters depresses sensitivity to visual signals and to the slope of the receiver operating characteristic. These predictions were tested and confirmed by depriving the observer of knowledge of the temporal location of a signal.Keywords
