Recent articles on familiarity (e.g. Whittlesea, B.W.A, 1993. Journal of Experimental Psychology 19, 1235) have argued that the feeling of familiarity is produced by unconscious attribution of fluent processing to a source in the past. In this article, we refine that notion: We argue that is not fluency per se, but rather fluent processing occurring under unexpected circumstances that produces the feeling. We demonstrate cases in which moderately fluent processing produces more familiarity than does highly fluent processing, at least when the former is surprising.
近期关于熟悉感的文章（例如，惠特利西，B.W.A，1993年。《实验心理学杂志》第19卷，第1235页）认为，熟悉感是由对流畅加工下意识地归因于过去的某个来源而产生的。在本文中，我们对这一观点进行了细化：我们认为，产生这种感觉的并非流畅性本身，而是在意外情况下发生的流畅加工。我们证明了，至少在前者令人惊讶的情况下，适度流畅的加工比高度流畅的加工会产生更多的熟悉感。
