“…This procedure is used even in these studies, aimed at comparing two versions of the same painting, for example, the original and altered, or one that is like another due to a feature such as style or artist (Nodine, 1982 ; Kristjanson and Antes, 1989 ; Nodine et al, 1993 ; Hekkert and van Wieringen, 1996a ; Locher et al, 1999 ; Vartanian and Goel, 2004 ; Pinto et al, 2006 ; Swami et al, 2007 ; Calvo-Merino et al, 2010 ). In some studies, two, three, or even four paintings are presented simultaneously, and the task of the participants is to select the one that best meets the criterion suggested in the instructions (e.g., aesthetic value) or order them according to this criterion (Child, 1965 ; Noll, 1966 ; Cupchik, 1974 ; Winner et al, 1987 ; Cupchik and Gebotys, 1988 ; Cupchik et al, 1992 ; McManus et al, 1993 ; Furnham and Rao, 2002 ; Cutting, 2003 ; Locher, 2003 ; Vartanian et al, 2005 ; Augustin et al, 2008 ; Arielli, 2012 ; Belke et al, 2015 ). Sometimes, a larger collection of paintings or photographs is presented at the same time, to be categorized (Augustin and Leder, 2006 ) or for aesthetic evaluation (McSorley and McCloy, 2011 ).…”
