In the pre-study, 48 German-speaking participants assessed the perceived familiarity, healthiness and tastiness for 21 soy products.

Multiple regression revealed that mental-rotation performance was predicted by perceptual speed and stimulus type (female or male stereotyped) but not by the perceived stereotyped nature or the perceived familiarity of the stimuli.
Using a lesion network mapping technique they had developed, the study authors determined that the lesions were connected to an area of the brain thought to be involved in perceiving familiarity.
This study investigates the effects of product-related factors (perceived familiarity and expected healthiness) and person-related factors (food neophobia and health interest) on consumer hedonic responses to various soy products.
Then, using the lesion network mapping technique they had recently developed, Darby and colleagues determined that all 17 lesions were functionally connected to an area of the brain called the retrosplenial cortex, which is thought to be involved in perceiving familiarity.
More specifically, studying perceptions and preparedness of K-8 educators about teaching evolution, Nadelson and Nadelson (2000) found that K-8 educators' perceived familiarity with concepts of evolutionary theory was positively related with their perceived qualifications about teaching evolutionary theory.
