Listen Later

In this episode of K9 Conservationists, Kayla Fratt speaks with Dr. Simon Gadbois to talk about signal detection theory and his conservation work!

Discussed in this Podcast:

  • Dr. Gadbois work in Nova Scotia
  • What is signal detection theory?
    • Signal detection theory is a means to measure the ability to differentiate between information-bearing patterns and random patterns that distract from the information.
    • It has been around for a long time
    • Mostly used for physical stimuli vs olfactory stimuli
    • It wouldn’t be useful for clear distinctions or errorless data
    • However, signal detection theory needs a clear yes or a clear no
    • What’s the potential problem with proportion or percentage correct data as performance?
    • What’s the problem with our basic lineup for training and testing detection dogs as it relates to SDT?
    • How can trainers at home put this to use with their dogs?
