Dissimilarity is used as evidence of category membership in multidimensional perceptual categorization: a test of the similarity-dissimilarity generalized context model [PDF]
, 2007 In exemplar models of categorization, the similarity between an exemplar and category members constitutes evidence that the exemplar belongs to the category.

Gestalt Theory, 2017 By introducing the concept of “invariants”, Koffka (1935) endowed perceptual psychology with a flexible theoretical tool, which is suitable for representing vision situations in which a definite part of the stimulus pattern is relevant but not sufficient

Stimulus-Response Conflict Tasks and Their Use in Clinical Psychology [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 This article reviews the historical usage of the concept of ‘conflict’ in psychology and delineates the design and development of three basic conflict tasks (Stroop, Flanker, Stop Signal). Afterwards, important theoretical concepts to account for conflict processing are introduced.

Absolute identification by relative judgment [PDF]
, 2005 In unidimensional absolute identification tasks, participants identify stimuli that vary along a single dimension. Performance is surprisingly poor compared with discrimination of the same stimuli.

Bayesian inference underlies the contraction bias in delayed comparison tasks. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Delayed comparison tasks are widely used in the study of working memory and perception in psychology and neuroscience. It has long been known, however, that decisions in these tasks are biased. When the two stimuli in a delayed comparison trial are small

Effects in the affect misattribution procedure are modulated by feature-specific attention allocation [PDF]
, 2016 We examined whether automatic stimulus evaluation as measured by the Affect Misattribution Procedure (AMP) is moderated by the degree to which attention is assigned to the evaluative stimulus dimension (i.e., feature-specific attention allocation, FSAA).

Signals of threat do not capture, but prioritize, attention: a conditioning approach [PDF]
, 2011 Research suggests that threatening information captures attention more rapidly than neutral information. However, in most studies threat stimuli differ perceptually from neutral stimuli and are instrumental to perform the task, leaving the question ...

Subjectively interpreted shape dimensions as privileged and orthogonal axes in mental shape space [PDF]
, 2011 The shape of an object is fundamental in object recognition but it is still an open issue to what extent shape differences are perceived analytically (i.e., by the dimensional structure of the shapes) or holistically (i.e., by the overall similarity of ...

A toolbox and sample object perception data for equalization of natural images
Data in Brief, 2015 For psychologists and neuroscientists, careful selection of their stimuli is essential, so that low-level visual features such as color or spatial frequency do not serve as confounds between conditions of interest.
