Abstract
⺠We examine how people rate statements as more true after earlier exposure, despite not remembering reading them. ⺠Repetition influenced both perceived truthfulness and general knowledge, even when statements were not remembered. ⺠This truth effect occurs regardless of whether statements originated from a reliable or unreliable source. ⺠Familiarity creates an illusion of truth for information encountered earlier.
