In a signal detection theory framework meta- d' is a measure of type 2 sensitivity (i.e. the degree to which a subject can discriminate correct from incorrect judgements) that is expressed in the same units as type 1 sensitivity (d') (i.e. the degree to which subjects can distinguish stimulus alternatives).
In the Correct Matching condition, the subjects were required to make correct judgement of whether the two 3-digit numbers presented in succession were the same or not; whereas in the Incorrect Matching condition, the participants were instructed to inhibit the correct responses.
