This study adds to the literature demonstrating the adverse market reaction to acquisitions by overconfident CEOs (e.g., Malmendier and Tate, 2008). In particular, it explores the parallel role played by overconfident target firm CEOs in explaining the premium paid, and value destruction in such deals, and, most importantly, the “perfect storm” of the interaction between the two overconfident p...

This paper theoretically and empirically investigates the role of noisy cognition in perceptual judgment, focusing on central tendency effect: well-known empirical regularity that judgments are biased towards center stimulus distribution. Based a formal Bayesian framework, we generate predictions about relationships between subjective confidence, tendency, response variability. Specifically, ou...

This study considers the potentially negative consequences for corporate leaders of being subjected to high levels of ingratiation in the form of flattery and opinion conformity from other managers and board members. Chief executive officers (CEOs) who have acquired positions of relatively high social status in the corporate elite tend to be attractive targets of flattery and opinion conformity...

We tested the hypothesis that synchronization of oscillatory responses between populations of visually driven neurons could be the basis for visual segmentation and perceptual grouping. We reasoned that oscillations in response induced by flickering visual targets should have an effect on visual performance in these tasks. We therefore measured the psychophysical performance of human subjects i...

Differences in perceptual latency (ΔL) for two stimuli, such as an auditory and a visual stimulus, can be estimated from temporal order judgments (TOJ) and simultaneity judgments (SJ), but previous research has found evidence that ΔL estimated from these tasks do not coincide. Here, using an auditory and a visual stimulus we confirmed this and further show that ΔL as estimated from duration jud...
