Assessing the Role of the ‘Unity Assumption’ on Multisensory Integration: A Review (2017, background): “To date, though, visual rather than multisensory cases have constituted the primary focus in previous reviews (e.g., Bruner, 1957; Fodor, 1983; Pylyshyn, 1999; Vetter and Newen, 2014; Firestone and Scholl, 2016).”
Beyond behaviorism: on the automaticity of higher mental processes. (2000, background): “…leg of the sequence is noncontroversial: that much if not most of perceptual activity is driven by the information in the environment, in interaction with the categories and concepts one has developed to represent that information (see, e.g., Bruner, 1957; Neisser, 1976; E. E. Smith & Medin, 1981).”
What's in a Forename? Cue Familiarity and Stereotypical Thinking ☆ ☆☆ ★ (2002, background): “The power of gorical thinking resides in the fact that this information be generated without the necessity of extended social action with the target (Bruner, 1957).”
An interactive activation model of context effects in letter perception: part 1.: an account of basic findings (1988, background): “The notion that knowledge and familiarity play a role in perception has often been supported by experiments on the perception of letters in words (Bruner, 1957; Neisser, 1967).”
Sensory marketing, embodiment, and grounded cognition: A review and introduction (2014, background): “This “economy-of-action” approach to perception (Proffitt, 2006) sheds new light on classic issues of motivated biases that have preoccupied psychologists since the “New Look” of the 1950's (Bruner, 1957).”
Contemporary perspectives on the psychology of attitudes (2004, background): “The notion that psychological factors such as mood, expectancies, and attitudes influence information processing is one of the oldest and most pervasive ideas in social psychology (e.g., Bruner, 1957; James, 1890; Lewin, 1935).”
Why Stakeholders Ignore Firm Misconduct (2014, unknown): “Lacking the cognitive capacity to independently assess all actions, people place actors into broad categories and assume similarity of attributes within these categories (Bruner, 1957).”
The Behavioral Immune System: Implications for Social Cognition, Social Interaction, and Social Influence (2016, background): “For decades, social psychological research has produced prototypical examples of motivated perception and motivated cognition—the kinds of phenomena that, at the outset of the cognitive revolution, characterized the so-called “New Look” approach to perception (Bruner, 1957, 1992).”
On Conceptualizing Self-Control as More Than the Effortful Inhibition of Impulses (2011, background): “…and behaviors do not necessarily reflect the objective features of their social worlds but rather their subjective interpretations or construals (e.g., Balcetis & Dunning, 2006; Bruner, 1957; Griffin & Ross, 1991; Hastorf & Cantril, 1954; Kunda, 1990; Proffitt, Stefanucci, Banton, & Epstein, 2003).”
Is vision continuous with cognition? The case for cognitive impenetrability of visual perception. (1999, background): “As Bruner himself relates it in a later review paper (Bruner, 1957), the " Value and needs… " essay caught on beyond expectations, inspiring about 300 experiments in the following decade, all of which showed that perception was infected through and through by the perceiver's beliefs about the world…”
The effect of culture on perception and cognition: A conceptual framework (2014, background): “…& Larsen, 2003); these basic exogenous sensory inputs (e.g., colors, shapes, sounds) cannot fully account for the emerging percept, which can be modified by factors that are endogenous to the perceiver, such as cultural expectations, internalized values, emotions, and needs (Bruner, 1957).”
The initial stage of the international sojourn: excitement or culture shock? (2008, background): “Out of their normal routine, sojourners are often plunged into ‘terror in face of the uncanny’ (Bruner, 1956 ).”
Automatic sources of aggression (2002, background): “Preactivated or primed concepts require less in the way of environmental stimulation to become active (see Bruner, 1957; Kelley, 1955).”
Intergroup Schadenfreude: motivating participation in collective violence (2015, unknown): “Social categorization allows us to generalize our existing knowledge about social groups to novel targets [9].”
