Data from two experiments show that the experienced structure of a category (i.e., as having high vs. low variability) modulates the impact of context on evaluative judgments of individual exemplars. Target objects (unfamiliar in Experiment 1 and familiar in Experiment 2) were primed with positive and negative images while varying the number (Experiment 1) or typicity (Experiment 2) of exemplars known from a category prior to the judgment task. The results show that evaluations of object valence were more influenced by valenced context cues in high than in low variability category conditions. These results are taken as evidence that more varied exemplar-based category representations facilitate context effects on stimulus evaluation.

经验丰富的类别可变性可调节上下文对评估判断的影响。

来自两个实验的数据表明，类别的经验结构（即，具有高可变性与低可变性）调节了语境对单个样本的评估判断的影响。目标对象（实验1中不熟悉和实验2中不熟悉）被充以正图像和负图像，同时改变判断任务之前从一个类别中已知的样本的数量（实验1）或典型性（实验2）。结果表明，与低可变性类别条件相比，高价的语境线索对对象价的评估影响更大。这些结果被视为证据，表明更多基于示例的类别表示形式有助于刺激评估的上下文效应。
