  • How associative thinking influences scene perception

    Open AccessShira Baror, Michael Bar et al.ARTICLEConsciousness and Cognition2022

  • Our need for associative coherence

    Open AccessYael Afiki, Michael Bar et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2020

    The world around us consists of typical settings manifested as statistical regularities and stored as associations. These associations are beneficial for performance, and we rely on them as a source of stability in our perception of a coherent surrounding. What happens when such associativity is not apparent? We presented pairs of associated images and pairs of non-associated images and compared their corresponding effect on subsequent performanc…

  • Gender Wage Gap Accounting

    Open AccessMichael Bar, Seik Kim et al.ARTICLEDemography2015Referencias: 25

    Mulligan and Rubinstein (2008) (MR) argued that changing selection of working females on unobservable characteristics, from negative in the 1970s to positive in the 1990s, accounted for nearly the entire closing of the gender wage gap. We argue that their female wage equation estimates are inconsistent. Correcting this error substantially weakens the role of the rising selection bias (39 % versus 78 %) and strengthens the contribution of declinin…

  • See it with feeling

    Open AccessLisa Feldman Barrett, Michael Bar et al.ARTICLEPhilosophical Transactions of the…2009

    People see with feeling. We ‘gaze’, ‘behold’, ‘stare’, ‘gape’ and ‘glare’. In this paper, we develop the hypothesis that the brain's ability to see in the present incorporates a representation of the affective impact of those visual sensations in the past. This representation makes up part of the brain's prediction of what the visual sensations stand for in the present, including how to act on them in the near future. The affective prediction hyp…

  • Humans Prefer Curved Visual Objects

    Open AccessMichael Bar, Moshe Bar et al.ARTICLEPsychological Science2006

    People constantly make snap judgments about objects encountered in the environment. Such rapid judgments must be based on the physical properties of the targets, but the nature of these properties is yet unknown. We hypothesized that sharp transitions in contour might convey a sense of threat, and therefore trigger a negative bias. Our results were consistent with this hypothesis. The type of contour a visual object possesses—whether the contour …

  • Top-down facilitation of visual recognition

    Open AccessMichael Bar, K S Kassam et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2006

    Cortical analysis related to visual object recognition is traditionally thought to propagate serially along a bottom-up hierarchy of ventral areas. Recent proposals gradually promote the role of top-down processing in recognition, but how such facilitation is triggered remains a puzzle. We tested a specific model, proposing that low spatial frequencies facilitate visual object recognition by initiating top-down processes projected from orbitofron…

  • Very first impressions

    Michael Bar, Moshe Bar et al.ARTICLEEmotion2006

    First impressions of people's personalities are often formed by using the visual appearance of their faces. Defining how quickly these impressions can be formed has critical implications for understanding social interactions and for determining the visual properties used to shape them. To study impression formation independent of emotional cues, threat judgments were made on faces with a neutral expression. Consequently, participants' judgments p…

  • The influence of nonremembered affective associations on preference

    Avniel Singh Ghuman, Michael Bar et al.ARTICLEEmotion2006

    An important influence on our preference toward a specific object is its associations with affective information. Here, the authors concentrate on the role of memory on shaping such preferences. Specifically, the authors used a multistage behavioral paradigm that fostered associations between neutral shapes and affective images. Participants that explicitly remembered these affective associations preferred neutral shapes associated with positive …

  • The Needed and the Needy

    Open AccessJohn Gal, Michael BarARTICLEJournal of Social Policy2000Citada por: 3

    In contrast to most other welfare states, the development of the Israeli welfare state has occurred in the shadow of an ongoing military conflict. This study examines one of the consequences of this development by focusing on the impact of benefits for disabled war veterans upon the country's social security system. Not only are the benefits for Israeli disabled veterans more generous and expensive than those in other welfare states but they have…
