Mood and fluency
We explored the impact of mood on the judgemental consequences of word pronounceability in six Experiments (1 preregistered, total N = 1183). Positive and negative mood was induced via video clips (all but Experiment 4) and subliminal affective primes (Experiment 4). Additionally, participants were presented with easy‐ and difficult‐to‐pronounce letter strings. These were framed as target words to be judged for liking (Experiments 1–2), as names …
Fluent processing leads to positive stimulus evaluations even when base rates suggest negative evaluations
Truth by Repetition

In a world of “alternative facts,” “fake news,” and strategic information management, understanding this effect is highly important. We first review explanations of the effect based on frequency, recognition, familiarity, and coherent references. On the basis of the latter explanation, we discuss the relations of these explanations. We th…

Asking simultaneously about truth and familiarity may disrupt truth effects
Tell me something that sounds familiar and I will believe it to be true.

The fact is we are more likely to believe in a statement if we have been previously exposed to it (e.g
Verdadeiro ou Falso? A ambiguidade de uma lista de frases permite o estudo de processos de atribuição de verdade
Neste artigo são apresentados os dados de dois pré-testes realizados a diversas frases que representam conhecimentos mundanos. As frases foram pré-testadas relativamente à dimensão subjectiva de verdade junto de amostras da população Portuguesa aplicando dois critérios diferentes. No primeiro pré-teste as avaliações de conjunto de afirmações verdadeiras foram contrastadas com as avaliações feitas de afirmações falsas obtidas por alteração de um p…
