Metacognitive Experiences in Consumer Judgment and Decision Making (2004, background): “For example, Winkielman and Cacioppo (2001; see also Harmon–Jones & Allen, 2001) assessed participants’affective responses to fluent stimuli with facial electromyography (EMG).”
Mind at ease puts a smile on the face: psychophysiological evidence that processing facilitation elicits positive affect. (2001, result): “In fact, our EMG results parallel observations that repeatedly exposed neutral stimuli elicit stronger activity over the zygomaticus region without changing the activity over the corrugator region ( Harmon-Jones & Allen, 2001 ).”
The Attractiveness Halo: Why Some Candidates are Perceived More Favorably than Others (2010, background): “These familiarity effects have been extended to sounds, shapes, people, and names (Bornstein 1989; Harmon-Jones and Allen 2001 ).”
Celebrities and Shoes on the Female Brain: The Neural Correlates of Product Evaluation in the Context of Fame (2009, background): “Earlier exposure to a stimulus has been shown to be sufficient to increase the positive affect experienced toward that stimulus at a later moment (Harmon-Jones and Allen, 2001; Zajonc, 2001).”
Processing Fluency and Aesthetic Pleasure: Is Beauty in the Perceiver's Processing Experience? (2004, background): “…judged more favorably 2This result, related findings by Seamon, McKenna, and Binder (1998), as well as studies using psychophysiological measures (Harmon-Jones & Allen, 2001; Winkielman & Cacioppo, 2001) speak against the possibility that the influence of fluency on preferences is reducible to…”
Sensorimotor fluency influences affect: Evidence from electromyography (2010, result): “It was predicted that sensorimotor fluency would result in a similar pattern of muscle activity to studies that investigated fast effortless perceptual processing (Harmon-Jones & Allen, 2001 ; Winkielman & Cacioppo, 2001 ; Winkielman, Halberstadt, Fazendeiro, & Catty, 2006 ).”
The face of fluency: Semantic coherence automatically elicits a specific pattern of facial muscle reactions (2009, methodology): “The resulting automatic zygomaticus activation was replicated by Harmon-Jones and Allen ( 2001 ), who induced high fluency by repeated exposure of female faces; as well as by Winkielman et al.”
Play it again Sam: Repeated exposure to emotionally evocative music polarises liking and smiling responses, and influences other affective reports, facial EMG, and heart rate (2007, background): “Physiological responses have been measured only once in the context of the exposure–liking literature, when it was found that zygomatic (smile) muscle activity increased along with liking upon repeated exposure to pictures of people (Harmon-Jones & Allen, 2001 ).”
