Illusion of truth
‘Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.’ In the field (26) psychology, this is known
(27) the ‘illusion of truth’ effect. If we look around, we may think that everyone (28)
advertisers to politicians are taking advantage of this human weakness, but does this actually work and
(29) likely is it to make a lie sound true by mere repetition? An interesting scientific experiment
led by Lisa Fazio of Vanderbilt University which examined the effect of repetition (30) shown
that repetition is a powerful tool and can make things seem (31) true than what they actually
are. (32) , it doesn’t have the power to change and ‘override’ the knowledge that already exists.
(33) is to say, repetition effect can’t mask the truth. If we really (34) make a lie
sound true by repetition, there would be (35) need for all the other techniques of persuasion,
would there?
