For example, if searchers do not expect relatively hard-to-spot targets to be present in a given search, they may find easy-to-spot targets but systematically quit searching before finding more difficult ones. Without feedback, searchers can create self-fulfilling prophecies where they incorrectly reinforce initial biases (e.g., first assuming and then, perhaps wrongly, concluding hard-to-spot targets are rare). In the current study, two groups of searchers completed an identical visual search task but with just a single difference in their initial task instructions before the experiment started; those in the \u201chigh-expectation\u201d condition were told that each trial could have one or two targets present (i.e., correctly implying no target-absent trials) and those in the \u201clow-expectation\u201d condition were told that each trial would have up to two targets (i.e., incorrectly implying there could be target-absent trials). Compared to the high-expectation group, the low-expectation group had a lower hit rate, lower false alarm rate and quit trials more quickly, consistent with a lower quitting threshold (i.e., performing less exhaustive searches) and a potentially higher target-present decision criterion. The expectation effect was present from the start and remained across the experiment\u2014despite exposure to the same true distribution of targets, the groups\u2019 performances remained divergent, primarily driven by the different subjective experiences caused by each groups\u2019 self-fulfilling prophecies. The effects were limited to the single-targets trials, which provides insights into the mechanisms affected by the initial expectations set by the instructions. In sum, initial expectations can have dramatic influences\u2014searchers who do not expect to find a target, are less likely to find a target as they are more likely to quit searching earlier.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s41235-021-00286-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,19]],"date-time":"2021-03-19T10:18:12Z","timestamp":1616149092000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Great expectations: minor differences in initial instructions have a major impact on visual search in the absence of feedback"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8109-8422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrick H.","family":"Cox","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dwight J.","family":"Kravitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen R.","family":"Mitroff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"286_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2569","DOI":"10.1177\/0956797613497970","volume":"24","author":"SH Adamo","year":"2013","unstructured":"Adamo, S.
