The acquisition and violation of expectancy: An experimental paradigm

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1969
Abstract An experiment, using 44-month-old children, was conducted wherein a repeated presentation of a stimulus (S1) was followed by a new stimulus (S2). It was predicted that attention, as measured by orientation of the head and fixation of the eyes, cardiac deceleration, smiling, and pointing, would show response decrement over repeated trials of ...

Broken expectations: Violation of expectancies, not novelty, captures auditory attention.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
The role of memory in behavioral distraction by auditory attentional capture was investigated: We examined whether capture is a product of the novelty of the capturing event (i.e., the absence of a recent memory for the event) or its violation of learned expectancies on the basis of a memory for an event structure.

CP violation in CMS: expected performance

Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1999
The CMS experiment can contribute significantly to the measurement of the CP violation asymmetries. A recent evaluation of the expected precision on the CP violation parameter sin 2 β in the channel B o d → J/ψK o S has been performed using a simulation of the CMS tracker including full pattern recognition.

Humor by Violating an Existing Expectancy

The Journal of Psychology, 1981
Summary The present experiment evoked humor by violating an existing expectancy compared to an experimental expectancy. The existing expectancy referred to the heaviness of textbooks stemming from students' experience. The experimental expectancy was defined by having students lift five textbooks individually while rating the covers.

Probing the effect of the expected-speed violation illusion

Psychological Research, 2020
Motion perception is complex for the brain to process, involving interacting computations of distance, time, and speed. These computations can be biased by the context and the features of the perceived moving object, giving rise to several types of motion illusions.

Interpersonal Expectations, Expectancy Violations, and Emotional Communication

Journal of Language and Social Psychology, 1993
In this article, key concepts and propositions of expectancy violations theory are explicated and then applied to emotional communication. It is proposed that emotional experience and expression can profitably be understood according to what experiences and expressions are expected in interpersonal relationships, the extent to which enacted expressions

Perceptions of Moral-Expectancy Violation: The Role of Expectancy Source

Social Cognition, 1984
Subjects anticipated playing a bargaining game with a target person (male) who was described either by himself or by a friend (“claim” vs. “reputation” expectancy source) as invariably honest or as likely to dissemble. Subjects then watched a videotape of the target person in a previous bargaining game as he either did or did not misrepresent himself ...

Evaluating violations of expectations to find exceptional information

Data & Knowledge Engineering, 2005
Much useful new information (e.g. information in news reports) is often that which is surprising or unexpected. In other words, we harbour many expectations about the world, and when any of these expectations are violated (i.e. made inconsistent) by new information, we have a strong indicator that the information is interesting for us.

Violation of Expectation in Naturalistic Stimuli

Our visual perceptual system receives information about the outside world solely in the form of light, that projects a two-dimensional image of the three-dimensional world on our two retinas. However, one three-dimensional scene can result in infinitely different two-dimensional images and one two-dimensional image can be the result of many different ...
