According to the 'two-factor' model of emotion mentioned if an individual experience physiological arousal and then labels that arousal based on environmental cues, this is an example of 'top-down' processing.
How does this 'top-down' influence relate to Signal Detection Theory?
- It establishes a fixed absolute threshold for emotional detection.
- Environmental context shifts the response criterion by providing cues about what signal to expect.
- It decreases the noise variance in the neural system.
- Physiological arousal increases the raw sensitivity (d') of the sensory receptors.
