Attraction to similar options: The Gestalt law of proximity is related to the attraction effect. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Previous studies have suggested that there are common mechanisms between perceptual and value-based processes. For instance, both perceptual and value-based choices are highly influenced by the context in which the choices are made.

Effortful Processing Reduces the Attraction Effect in Multi-Alternative Decision Making: An Electrophysiological Study Using a Task-Irrelevant Probe Technique [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 The attraction effect in multi-alternative decision making reflects the context-dependent violation of axioms that are considered fundamental to rational choice.

Attract the best: The attraction effect as an effective strategy to enhance healthy choices. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Every day, people make many food decisions without thinking, repeatedly falling for the unhealthy option instead of the healthy option. While making these mindless decisions, people often rely on heuristics.

The Attraction Effect Modulates Reward Prediction Errors and Intertemporal Choices. [PDF]
J Neurosci, 2017 Classical economic theory contends that the utility of a choice option should be independent of other options. This view is challenged by the attraction effect, in which the relative preference between two options is altered by the addition of a third ...

Mitigating the Attraction Effect with Visualizations [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2019 Human decisions are prone to biases, and this is no less true for decisions made within data visualizations. Bias mitigation strategies often focus on the person, by educating people about their biases, typically with little success.

Proximity and Same Case Marking Do Not Increase Attraction Effect in Comprehension: Evidence From Eye-Tracking Experiments in Korean. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2019 Previous studies have suggested that during the on-line sentence processing, relevant memory representations are directly accessed based on cues at retrieval (McElree et al., 2003). Under this hypothesis, retrieval cues activate any memory representation

The Attraction Effect in Information Visualization [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2017 The attraction effect is a well-studied cognitive bias in decision making research, where one's choice between two alternatives is influenced by the presence of an irrelevant (dominated) third alternative. We examine whether this cognitive bias, so far only tested with three alternatives and simple presentation formats such as numerical tables, text ...

The attraction effect in perceptual decision-making: a case of dominance asymmetry [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionThe attraction effect (AE), or asymmetric dominance effect, occurs when the presence of a clearly inferior decoy increases the choice of a target over a competitor.

The Effect of Expected Value on Attraction Effect Preference Reversals. [PDF]
J Behav Decis Mak, 2017 The attraction effect shows that adding a third alternative to a choice set can alter preference between the original two options. For over 30 years, this simple demonstration of context dependence has been taken as strong evidence against a class of ...
