- Prior Exposure Increases Perceived Accuracy of Fake News (2018, positive): “This supports the broad consensus that repetition influences accuracy through a low-level fluency heuristic (Alter & Oppenheimer, 2009; Begg et al., 1992; Reber et al., 1998; Unkelbach, 2007; Whittlesea, 1993).”
- The role of certainty (and uncertainty) in attitudes and persuasion (2016, background): “It is now well-established that feelings of fluency predict subjective certainty [44–46].”
- Affective Value in the Predictive Mind (2017, background): “Fluency should also be seen as a metarepresentation (Alter and Oppenheimer 2009) and is arguably well characterized as the experience of actively reducing prediction errors (and disfluency as increases in prediction errors).”
- Experiential product attributes and preferences for new products: The role of processing fluency (2014, positive): “In contrast, lack of fluency, due to the experienced difficulty during the processing, leads to systematic processing and elaboration (Alter & Oppenheimer, 2009).”
- Self-regulated learning: beliefs, techniques, and illusions. (2013, background): “(Fluency also influences a wide variety of other types of judgment; see Alter & Oppenheimer 2009, Kelley & Jacoby 1996, Kelley & Rhodes 2002, Oppenheimer 2008, Schwarz 2004.)”
- Positioning Rationality and Emotion: Rationality is Up and Emotion is Down (2015, background): “…fluency research, where the same metacognitive experience (i.e., the subjective experience of ease or difficulty with which people process information) can inform a wide variety of judgments, taking on different meanings in different contexts (Alter and Oppenheimer 2009; Schwarz 2004, 2010, 2015).”
- Metaphor Aptness and Conventionality: A Processing Fluency Account (2011, background): “Previous work by Jacoby and others has found that people tend to misattribute a general sense of processing fluency to abstract target dimensions that they are trying to rate ( Alter & Oppenheimer, 2009 ; Jacoby, Allan, Collins, & Larwill, 1988 ; Jacoby & Whitehouse, 1989 ; Kelley & Jacoby, 1996).”
- Relative Processing Fluency (2015, background): “Besides perception and retrieval from memory, many other cognitive processes create feelings of fluency (of disfluency) that in turn influence processing outcomes (for a review, see Alter & Oppenheimer, 2009).”
- EPISTEMIC ANXIETY AND ADAPTIVE INVARIANTISM (2010, background): “…types of cognitive operation, including perception, spatial reasoning, linguistic processing, memory and deduction (for a comprehensive review, see Alter & Oppenheimer, 2009).9 In the particular case of memory retrieval, one noteworthy metacognitive signal is the FOK or feeling of knowing, a…”

- The neural basis of metacognitive ability (2012, background): “[58, 59], the accessibility or relatedness of cue information to the target [60], and,”
