  1. Perceptual Fluency and Affect The study of Reber et al. (1998): Several studies found effects of repeated stimulus exposure on affective preference (Kunst-Wilson & Zajonc, 1980; Zajonc, 1968). One theoretical account (Bornstein & D‘Agostino, 1994) claimed that the link between mere exposure and affect is mediated by perceptual fluency: Contributor © POSbase 2004

  6. Perceptual Fluency and Affect The authors concluded from this and other experiments that perceptual fluency influences affect. This bolsters a perceptual fluency account of the mere exposure effect on affect (Bornstein & D‘Agostino, 1994; Reber & Schwarz, 2001; Whittlesea, 1993). Winkielman and Cacioppo (2001) could replicate the results by Reber et al. (1998) and found physiological evidence for the fluency  affect-link. © POSbase 2004

  7. Perceptual Fluency and Affect Processing fluency has been found to influence different kinds of judgments: • Illusions of familiarity (Jacoby & Whitehouse, 1989; Whittlesea, 1993) • Beauty (Reber et al., 2004) • Judgment of truth (Reber & Schwarz, 1999) • Judgment of accuracy of metaphors (McGlone & Tofighbakhsh, 2000) • Hindsight bias (Harley et al., 2004) • Judgments of time (Reber et al., 2004; Witherspoon & Allan, 1985) • Performance judgments (Benjamin et al., 1998; Kelley & Jacoby, 1996) © POSbase 2004
