Processing Fluency and Aesthetic Pleasure: Is Beauty in the Perceiver's Processing Experience?
TL;DR: This work proposes that aesthetic pleasure is a funnction of the perceiver's processing dynamics: the more fluently perceivers can process an object, the more positive their aesthetic response, and reviews variables known to influence aesthetic judgments, and traces their effects to changes in processing fluency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embodiment in Attitudes, Social Perception, and Emotion
TL;DR: This work proposes that theories of embodied cognition, such as the Perceptual Symbol Systems (PSS) account (Barsalou, 1999), explain and integrate findings, and shows how the PSS account addresses criticisms that have previously posed problems for the general embodiment approach.
Puzzlingly High Correlations in fMRI Studies of Emotion, Personality, and Social
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors of 55 articles that reported findings of high correlations were surveyed to determine a few details on how these correlations were computed and found that these correlations are higher than should be expected given the (evidently limited) reliability of both fMRI and personality measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Puzzlingly high correlations in fMRI studies of emotion, personality, and social cognition.
TL;DR: It is argued that, in some cases, other analysis problems likely created entirely spurious correlations and the data from these studies could be reanalyzed with unbiased methods to provide accurate estimates of the correlations in question and urge authors to perform such reanalyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Perceptual Fluency on Affective Judgments
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of perceptual fluency on affective judgments was examined, and it was concluded that perceptual fluencies increased liking and that the experience of fluency is affectively positive, and hence attributed to positive but not to negative features, as reflected in a differential impact on positive and negative judgments.
