According to a preprint abstract, humans exhibit a type of psychological certainty called the "certainty signature of central form." This means that as people navigate the world, they expect the entities they encounter to possess certain form properties. In two experiments, participants showed psychological certainty that form properties would exist in new instances of kinds, but not for other properties that were part of their generic knowledge. This research has implications for understanding conceptual structure, stereotyping, and conceptual combination. However, it is important to note that this preprint has not been peer-reviewed.
