The mere exposure effect suggests that people tend to develop a preference for things merely because they are familiar with them. This effect holds true for both subliminal (below the threshold of conscious perception) and nonsubliminal (above the threshold of conscious perception) stimuli, indicating that repeated exposure can influence preferences even when the individual is not consciously aware of the stimuli.
