Emotionality and perceptual defense.
Open accessAbstract
During the past decade, a number of experimental investigations have pro-gressively revealed the so-called "dy-namic, " or motivational, aspects of perceptual behavior. No longer do we view perception as organized solely in terms of the structural characteristics of stimulus objects or the frequency with which the individual has been ex-posed to these objects. Perceptions are structured not only with respect to the limiting stimulus conditions, but also with regard to the possibilities of re-ward (11, 12), need fulfillment (1, 7), attitudinal orientation (10), potential

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
