I have added a link to the Mere exposure effect, as it seems like a pretty similar concept. I would like a more seasoned wikipedian to confirm this is appropriate.

The illusory truth effect is not the same as the mere exposure effect, although they both rely on familiarity. While the mere exposure effect refers to the tendency to develop a preference for more familiar objects or individuals, the illusory truth effect refers to believing information that is frequently encountered.

Duke Wikipedia Project: There are a few things that we'd like to change add to this page to provide more information about the Illusory Truth Effect

1. I would like to add an actual short explanation about what the Illusory Truth Effect is at the beginning of the article, instead of just jumping into talk of a research study that was done. Ehardiman (talk) 19:26, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2. I would like to add a section about the different aids that exist for the Illusory Truth Effect, such as: novels, movies, social media, advertisements, etc. I think it would be interesting to explain where these illusory truths come from and why they are so easily propagated. Ehardiman (talk) 19:28, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, to add to the changes above, I would also like to include the following:

1. Add effects of illusory truth on young people vs. old people Ashley (talk) 19:34, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2. Link this page to other articles that are relevant to the topic of illusory truth (ex. truthiness, false memory, fluency, etc.) Ashley (talk) 19:34, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it's important to link this to other relevant concepts, and I like the articles you've suggested. My concern/suggestion is to make sure that you make clear what the relationship between illusory truth and concept x is. For example, illusory truth and fluency heuristic or mere-exposure effect are related in a different way than false memory and illusory truth. Jennjiyoun (talk) 00:44, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to the above changes, I think it is important to reorganize the structure of the article, specifically moving what is currently written to a history section, which would be more appropriate for the content. I would also like to discuss the effects of illusory truth on implicit memory as opposed to explicit, and the importance and real-world relevance of this finding.

I would love to see the addition proposed in point 1. above. Older adults show the illusory truth effect to a lesser extent than younger adults when general knowledge is involved, which supports the assertion knowledge is preserved (or even increases) over the life span. Sowallabear (talk) 00:44, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Make sure you add some studies and their explanations other than the one stated. Where is the field headed? what has been learned on the topic recently? How does it work cognitively? Why does it happen? How does it affect memory? Maybe some information on heuristics.
