    1. People assess three classes of information
      1. 1. Consistency information - information about the extent to which a behaviour 'Y' always co-occurs with a stimulus 'X'.
        1. Someone always does something in response to another
        2. 2. Distinctiveness information - information about whether a persons reaction occurs only with one stimulus, or is a common reaction to many stimuli.

          2. 3. Consensus information - information about the extent to which other people react in the same way to a stimulus 'X'.
