Decision theory is all about "making decisions under conditions of uncertainty." It is one set of concepts applied to the Hypothesis Testing Model of Inferential Statistics, Signal Detection Theory (aka "Sensory Decision Theory"), and "Error Management Theory."

The screens (aka "cards") in this application (aka "stack") provide interactive practice with various aspects of these models.

Each of the ways decision theory is applied in this program has instructions and explanation built into the program. When the user clicks on the "Info" button, a seocnd window opens with this information.

The "Info" window in this image is displaying the information for the Hypothesis Testing Model of Inferential Statistics.

This screen (aka "card") provides the user with an opportunity to simulate a research situation where a prospective new "treatment" is being compared with an established treatment.

Then a practitioner can try the new technique and decides whether or not the new treatment makes a difference.
