Distinctiveness and Similarity tasks. During the Distinctiveness task (A), participants imagined themselves as chauffeurs and rated how easily a given “customer” could be picked out of a crowded airport on a scale from 1 to 4, ranging from 1 = hard to 4 = easy. During the Similarity task (B), participants imagined themselves as casting agents and rated how well each “actor” matched the director’s desired look on a scale from 1 to 4, ranging from 1 = poor match to 4 = excellent match. For Experiment 2, a variable inter-trial interval (ITI) was included during which participants made odd/even judgments.
