Primes¶
- Mere Exposure Effect
- the misattributed affect — the positive feeling that accompanies fluent processing, interpreted by the cognitive system as inherent pleasantness of the stimulus rather than as a fluency signal
This sourceClarifies the relationship between perceptual fluency (ease of processing) and explicit recognition memory; shows mere exposure operates via fluency misattribution rather than recognition, distinguishing it from associative or conditioning-based mechanisms.

Mechanisms¶
- Fluency-Response A/B Test
- Its strength is telling a real fluency-to-preference lift apart from noise and from a one-off novelty effect
This sourceFinds that repeated exposure can increase perceptual fluency and thereby produce more favorable affective judgments.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
