“…SDEs have been documented in a wide variety of knowledge domains, which include (a) comparisons on concrete dimensions such as the sizes of animals (e.g., Moyer, 1973) and other everyday objects (Paivio, 1975); (b) comparisons on abstract dimensions such as the magnitudes of numbers (e.g., Dehaene, Dupoux, & Mehler, 1990;Moyer & Landauer, 1967), time, quality, temperature terms (Holyoak & Walker, 1976), and the semantic goodness of words (A. Friedman, 1978); and (c) comparisons that involve some degree of uncertainty with respect to the position of target items along the criterion dimension, such as the military power of countries (Kerst & Howard, 1977) and the price of cars (Brown & Tan, 2011).…”
