We examine whether a stimulus generalization framework can provide insight in how experience shapes evaluative responses to artworks. Participants received positive information about one artwork and negative information about another artwork. Afterwards, we tested their evaluative responses not only to these artworks but also to similar artworks, which allowed us to assess generalization. Results showed that the artwork that was paired with positive information and the artwork that was similar to it were evaluated more positively than the other artworks. These findings confirm that theories that aim to explain art appreciation could benefit from taking learning and its generalization into account.
我们研究了刺激泛化框架是否能够为经验如何塑造对艺术品的评价性反应提供见解。参与者收到了关于一件艺术品的正面信息和关于另一件艺术品的负面信息。之后，我们不仅测试了他们对这些艺术品的评价性反应，还测试了他们对类似艺术品的评价性反应，这使我们能够评估泛化情况。结果表明，与正面信息配对的艺术品及其类似的艺术品比其他艺术品得到了更积极的评价。这些发现证实，旨在解释艺术欣赏的理论可以从考虑学习及其泛化中受益。
