The Illusion of Knowledge: How Repetition Shapes Our Beliefs

The Illusion of Knowledge: How Repetition Shapes Our Beliefs

Our beliefs can be easily influenced by repetition. A recent study published in Cognition reveals how repeated exposure to statements can create an illusion of knowledge, making us believe we knew the information all along. This “truth effect” exploits our brain’s processing fluency, leading us to trust familiar information more, regardless of its accuracy. In a digital age rife with misinformation, understanding this cognitive bias is crucial for making informed decisions and resisting false beliefs. Discover how repetition shapes our perceptions and what we can do to combat the illusion of knowledge.
