@danwilliamsphil New WP that’s maybe of interest. Any feedback very welcome!
New WP! The illusory truth effect (repetition -> belief) is core to psych of beliefs, & thought to be a deep bias impacting misinfo, persuasion & advertising Why would cognition include such a flaw? We argue it is a rational adaptation to high-quality info environments 🧵1/

This aligns with normative models of belief updating- ppl learn about sources of info in addition to the focal hypothesis. These models provide unique insights into what information means at an individual-level and these predictions are born out in a very important setting!
