The Mere Exposure Effect
Captions available
The idea
The mere exposure effect is increased liking for a stimulus produced by repeated exposure alone.
In practice
Unfamiliar faces shown repeatedly are rated more likable than those seen once.
Where people slip
The effect operates without recognition. Liking rises for stimuli the person cannot report having seen.
