Consumer Evaluations of Brand Extensions

TL;DR: In this article, two studies were conducted to obtain insights on how consumers form attitudes toward brand extensions, i.e., use of an established brand name to enter a new product category.

Feature analysis in early vision : evidence from search asymmetries

TL;DR: The results of a series of search experiments are interpreted as evidence that focused attention to single items or to groups is required to reduce background activity when the Weber fraction distinguishing the pooled feature activity with displayscontaining a target and with displays containing only distractors is too small to allow reliable discrimination.

Toward a universal law of generalization for psychological science

TL;DR: A psychological space is established for any set of stimuli by determining metric distances between the stimuli such that the probability that a response learned to any stimulus will generalize to any other is an invariant monotonic function of the distance between them.

Attention, similarity, and the identification-categorization relationship.

TL;DR: In this paper, a unified quantitative approach to modeling subjects' identification and categorization of multidimensional perceptual stimuli is proposed and tested, where subjects identify and categorize the same set of perceptually confusable stimuli varying on separable dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Respects for similarity

TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that an important source of constraints derives from the similarity comparison process itself, and that respects are determined by processes internal to comparisons, rather than hard-wired perceptual processes.

Judgment Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases

TL;DR: The authors described three heuristics that are employed in making judgements under uncertainty: representativeness, availability of instances or scenarios, and adjustment from an anchor, which is usually employed in numerical prediction when a relevant value is available.

The Principles of Psychology

William James
TL;DR: For instance, the authors discusses the multiplicity of the consciousness of self in the form of the stream of thought and the perception of space in the human brain, which is the basis for our work.

A feature-integration theory of attention

TL;DR: A new hypothesis about the role of focused attention is proposed, which offers a new set of criteria for distinguishing separable from integral features and a new rationale for predicting which tasks will show attention limits and which will not.
