- Abstract
- Researchers study phenomena such as the mere-exposure effect, evaluative conditioning, and persuasion to learn more about the ways in which likes and dislikes can be formed and changed. Often, these phenomena are studied in isolation. Here, we review and integrate conceptual analyses that highlight ways to relate these different phenomena and that reveal new avenues for research on evaluative learning. At the core of these analyses lies the idea that evaluative learning can be defined as changes in liking that are due to regularities in the environment. We discuss how this definition allows one to distinguish different types of evaluative learning on the basis of the nature of regularities (e.g., in the presence of one stimulus vs. in the presence of two stimuli) and the function of regularities (i.e., symbolic vs. nonsymbolic).
