Three Essays On Tax Salience: Market Salience and Political Salience [PDF]
This Article analyzes the behavioral economics literatures on how individuals understand taxation (i.e., tax salience). We evaluate how taxpayers respond to different presentations of tax prices both in their roles as market participants and as voters. We aim to combat several naïve notions about tax salience that currently exert a pernicious influence

The time course of salience: not entirely caused by salience [PDF]
AbstractVisual salience is a key component of attentional selection, the process that guards the scarce resources needed for conscious recognition and perception. In previous works, we proposed a measure of visual salience based on a formal theory of visual selection.

Physical salience and cognitive salience
Salience phenomena put an element from a linguistic or visual message forward ("pop-up" effect). By confronting works resulting from various research fields, and with the aim to apprehend salience as a general cognitive mechanism, we propose a classification of the factors that make an entity salient in a linguistic utterance or in a visual scene.

Results of three studies indicate that intrinsic religiosity and mortality salience interact to predict intergroup hostility. Study 1,conducted among 200 American Christians and Jews, reveals that under mortality salience, intrinsic (but not extrinsic or

Humans can distinguish many object and surface properties by touch. Some of these properties are highly salient: they are immediately perceived after just a brief touch. Since the processing of such features is apparently highly efficient, it is of interest to investigate which features are salient to touch and which are not.

Saliency Tree: A Novel Saliency Detection Framework [PDF]
This paper proposes a novel saliency detection framework termed as saliency tree. For effective saliency measurement, the original image is first simplified using adaptive color quantization and region segmentation to partition the image into a set of primitive regions. Then, three measures, i.e., global contrast, spatial sparsity, and object prior are

On the basis of terror management theory, the authors hypothesized that reminders of mortality (mortality salience) should promote the desire for offspring to the extent that it does not conflict with other self-relevant worldviews that also serve to ...

Hopelessly Mortal: The Role of Mortality Salience, Immortality and Trait Self-esteem in Personal Hope [PDF]
Do people lose hope when thinking about death? Based on Terror Management Theory, we predicted that thoughts of death (i.e., mortality salience) would reduce personal hope for people low, but not high, in self-esteem, and that this reduction in hope ...

Salience-based selection: attentional capture by distractors less salient than the target [PDF]
Current accounts of attentional capture predict the most salient stimulus to be invariably selected first. However, existing salience and visual search models assume noise in the map computation or selection process.
