当被问到：“摩西带了多少动物上方舟？大多数人回答“二”，尽管知道诺亚而不是摩西是圣经的演员。两个实验测试处理流畅性的作用，在检测这种语义扭曲提出的问题，在一个容易或难以阅读的打印字体。正如预测的那样，低处理流畅性有利于检测问题的误导性，并减少错误答案的比例。然而，低处理流畅性也降低了正确答案的比例，在一个未失真的问题。在这两种情况下，当字体难以阅读时，参与者不太可能依赖于他们的自发联想，从而提高了扭曲问题的表现，并削弱了未扭曲问题的表现。我们认为流畅性经验影响加工风格。
When asked, "How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark?" most people respond "Two" despite knowing that Noah rather than Moses was the biblical actor. Two experiments tested the role of processing fluency in the detection of such semantic distortions by presenting questions in an easy or difficult to read print font. As predicted, low processing fluency facilitated detection of the misleading nature of the question and reduced the proportion of erroneous answers. However, low processing fluency also reduced the proportion of correct answers in response to an undistorted question. In both cases, participants were less likely to rely on their spontaneous association when the font was difficult to read, resulting in improved performance on distorted and impaired performance on undistorted questions. We propose that fluency experiences influence processing style.
