Time-dependent detection measures are needed because trial outcomes emerge only over time

Evidence

The results above stay true if false alarms are taken into account (Fig. 1h ). For this purpose, we computed a time-dependent d’ measure (see Fig. 1g for an illustration, and Methods ). Classical d’ analysis does not apply in the present dynamic decision paradigm, since the eventual outcome of a trial is not accessible at early times (i.e. when computing d’(0.5 s), a trial with a hit at 5 s should not be counted as a hit, but as a ‘correct reject up to 0.5 s; but when computing d’(4 s), the same trial will be counted as a hit). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3330 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
