Abstract
Abstract : The report examines the historical background of the role of motivational concepts as determinants of perceptual events. A summary of decision theoretic notions is followed by an explication of the theory of response bias. This work is related to such topics as word recognition thresholds and aspects of social perception. A description and summary of the major findings on the measurement of utility is included. The report ends with a discussion of motivational effects of a more intrinsic form that are being studied as part of work on perceptual motor skills, including response integration, looking behavior, and vehicle guidance.

PsychometrikaMultidimensional Scaling by Optimizing Goodness of Fit to a Nonmetric Hypothesis
7,398 Citations1964Joseph B. Kruskal
The fundamental hypothesis is that dissimilarities and distances are monotonically related, and a quantitative, intuitively satisfying measure of goodness of fit is defined to this hypothesis.

4,882 Citations1964Joseph B. Kruskal
The numerical methods required in the approach to multi-dimensional scaling are described and the rationale of this approach has appeared previously.

The program is proposed as a tool for reductively analyzing several types of psychological data, particularly measures of interstimulus similarity or confusability, by making explicit the multidimensional structure underlying such data.

All statements about the nervous system are theories in the sense that they are not expressed in the same terms and could not be confirmed with the same methods of observation as the facts for which they are said to account.

674 Citations1967Michael G. Saslow
The standard displacement-step stimulus often used to produce lateral saccadic eye movements is considered in terms of the effects of its components: termination of stimulation at an initial fixation point, and onset of stimulating at a new, laterally displaced fixation point.

52 Citations1967Eugene Galanter, Garvin L. Holman
In the fourth experiment the absolute response probabilities of correct detections and false reports were reproduced even though five-fold changes in monetary value were made, lending additional empirical support to the accumulating evidence that the utility function of money is a power function.

These experiments demonstrate that the human observer tends toward optimum behavior, where optimum behavior is defined as that behavior which maximizes the expected gain from the decision.
