Abstract: Many legal decisions center on the thoughts or perceptions of some idealized group of individuals, referred to variously as the “average person”, “the typical consumer”, or the “reasonable person”. Substantial concerns exist, however, regarding the subjectivity and vulnerability to biases inherent in the conventional means of assessing such responses, particularly the use of self-report evidence. Here we addressed these concerns by complementing self-report evidence with neural data to inform the mental representations in question.
