Primes¶
- Expectation Violation
- Here nothing counts unless a specific anticipatory commitment was in force and the event contradicted it; the rarity of the event, its unpleasantness, and whether anyone was entitled to expect otherwise are all beside the point.
This sourceReviews evidence that surprise is evoked by schema-discrepancy alone, with the novelty and the valence of the eliciting event having no independent effect.

The review supports surprise as discrepancy from expectation with no independent effect of novelty or valence, but not the 'specific commitment' requirement, or the irrelevance of rarity or entitlement.
“Surprise is evoked by unexpected (schema-discrepant) events and its intensity is determined by the degree if schema-discrepancy, whereas the novelty and the valence of the eliciting events probably do not have an independent effect.”
- Here nothing counts unless a specific anticipatory commitment was in force and the event contradicted it; the rarity of the event, its unpleasantness, and whether anyone was entitled to expect otherwise are all beside the point.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
