Query: Discrete, recurrent, and scalable patterns in human judgement underlie
  affective picture ratings   Operant keypress tasks, where each action has a consequence, have been
analogized to the construct of "wanting" and produce lawful relationships in
humans that quantify preferences for approach and avoidance behavior. It is
unknown if rating tasks without an operant framework, which can be analogized
to "liking", show similar lawful relationships. We studied three independent
cohorts of participants (N = 501, 506, and 4,019 participants) collected by two
distinct organizations, using the same 7-point Likert scale to rate negative to
positive preferences for pictures from the International Affective Picture Set.
Picture ratings without an operant framework produced similar value functions,
limit functions, and trade-off functions to those reported in the literature
for operant keypress tasks, all with goodness of fits above 0.75. These value,
limit, and trade-off functions were discrete in their mathematical formulation,
recurrent across all three independent cohorts, and demonstrated scaling
between individual and group curves. In all three experiments, the computation
of loss aversion showed 95% confidence intervals below the value of 2, arguing
against a strong overweighting of losses relative to gains, as has previously
been reported for keypress tasks or games of chance with calibrated
uncertainty. Graphed features from the three cohorts were similar and argue
that preference assessments meet three of four criteria for lawfulness,
providing a simple, short, and low-cost method for the quantitative assessment
of preference without forced choice decisions, games of chance, or operant
keypressing. This approach can easily be implemented on any digital device with
a screen (e.g., cellphones).
