Time to Pay Attention to Attention: Using Attention-Based Process Traces to Better Understand Consumer Decision-Making Open
This paper examines consumers’ attention traces (e.g., sequences of eye fixations and saccades) during choice. Due to reduced equipment cost and increased ease of analysis, attention traces can reflect a more fine-grained representation of…

Salience theory of mere exposure: Relative exposure increases liking, extremity, and emotional intensity. Open
We propose and support a salience explanation of exposure effects. We suggest that repeated exposure to stimuli influences evaluations by increasing salience, the relative quality of standing out from other competing stimuli. In Experiment…

Simulational fluency reduces feelings of psychological distance. Open
Why do some events feel "like yesterday" whereas others feel "ages away"? Past research has identified cues that influence people's estimates of distance in units such as how many miles or days away events are from the self. However, what …

Salience in Mere Exposure: Salience Makes Evaluations More Extreme and Accounts for Exposure Effects Open
I propose and support a salience account of exposure effects suggesting that repeated exposure to stimuli influences evaluations and emotion by increasing salience, the relative quality of standing out in relation to other stimuli in the e…

Attentional accounting: Voluntary spatial attention increases budget category prioritization. Open
Too often, people fail to prioritize the most important activities, life domains, and budget categories. One reason for misplaced priorities, we argue, is that activities and categories people have frequently or recently attended to seem h…
