discrepancy-attribution hypothesis  

Définition

  • The hypothesis to "explain the source of feelings of familiarity. By that hypothesis, people chronically evaluate the coherence of their processing. When the quality of processing is perceived as being discrepant from that which could be expected, people engage in an attributional process; the feeling of familiarity occurs when perceived discrepancy is attributed to prior experience." (Whittlesea & Williams, 2001b, p. 3).
