Are there ‘Sleeping Beauties’ in Psychology?

A ‘sleeping beauty’ is the name given to an article that has been published relatively unnoticed for a long time and then it suddenly gets cited a good deal.
Yuh-Shan Ho and James Hartley have used computer-based techniques to locate three such sleeping beauties in Psychology – namely Stroop, 1935; Maslow, 1943; and Simon, 1956 – and to see when they were awakened.
Similarly it is possible to find the princes who awoke the beauties.  In this case they were Jensen & Rohwer, 1966; Hackman & Lawler, 1971; and Gigerenzer and Hoffrage, 1995.  Do princes come in pairs!
