    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Increased exposure makes observers more aware of the objective qualities of a work.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Awareness of a work's objective qualities grounds reliable aesthetic judgement.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A factor that grounds reliable judgement may belong to the space of aesthetic reasons even if it is not itself a reason why the work is good or bad.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Mere exposure increases liking through familiarity bias (Zajonc 1968), which is a non-cognitive affective response independent of tracking objective qualities.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A process that systematically produces responses uncorrelated with objective features cannot ground reliability in the epistemically relevant sense.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Therefore, increased exposure may produce confident judgements that are unreliable precisely because familiarity and quality are independent variables.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Hume's standard of taste requires that reliable judges be free from prejudice, and repeated exposure to one work cultivates partiality rather than impartiality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A factor that corrupts the conditions Hume identifies as necessary for reliable aesthetic judgment cannot simultaneously belong to the space of aesthetic reasons that justify that judgment.

    Another aspect of fluency is said to be the mere exposure effect: our tendency to find a statement more believable if we have heard it often, repeated hearings leading to progressively more fluent processing (Begg, Anas, & Farinacci 1992). Cutting (2003) investigated an aesthetic variant of the idea: liking for a picture is increased by repeated exposure to it. This, it is suggested, may explain the stability of the artistic canon: works canonical at t are more available to be seen, and the
