"the more we see something repeated, the more likely we are to believe it to be true.

This “illusory truth effect” arises because we use familiarity and ease of understanding as a shorthand for truth; the more something is repeated, the more familiar and fluent it feels whether it is misinformation or fact."

Referential linking is a shortcut our brains use to improve processing fluency, however, as a side effect, it causes us to believe things the more often we hear them, even if untrue. https://www.paradoxpairs.com/fluency-repetition/ #ParadoxPairs #Fluency #Repetition #IllusoryTruthEffect #Leadership #Culture #psychology
