Effects in which repeated exposure or familiarity changes what people notice, like or believe, including the mere exposure effect, the frequency illusion and the illusory truth effect. A phenomenon belongs here when its cited article ties the effect to repetition or familiarity. Every member sits in the Psychology Atlas as its own page with a definition, cited sources and links to related effects, so the group works as a reading path through Repetition and Familiarity Effects rather than as a claim that the members share one cause. Where scholars disagree about how an effect should be classified, the member page says so.
