description: While nature is an important component of architectural theory, we must reevaluate how architecture deals with nature in theory in order to place landscape in this thesis in the disciplinary context of architecture. While revisiting 17 of architecture's crucial exponents throughout twenty centuries, I explore their dealings with landscape or nature and the concepts thereof. The beginning of this chapter (3.1) will touch on some crucial problems that lead to the polarity of 'wild' nature and human architecture, or more precisely, the divide between nature and humanity through architecture. Part of the theoretical problem elaborated in the beginning of the chapter is, that landscape and nature are oftentimes conflated if not confused, in particular by architects. Out of my critique of a thematic selection of common architectural theories and within the methodological differentiation (3.2), I will argue for the necessity of research through analyses of landscape spatial composition in architecture. This argument should lead to introduce my application of the a twofold analytical model. One side of the analysis is about the form of the landscape architectural composition (Steenbergen & Reh 2003) with a method of drawing analysis of the formal composition of architectural projects in this thesis. The other side is evaluation of their strategies with the previously explained four attitudes. The introduction the twofold analytical methods will conclude with the research framework for our further investigation into Landscape Design Strategies drawing from the different theories of the conceptual landscape attitudes and the formal landscape composition, our research framework will merge these two theories into a complete picture of the phenomenon. In section 3.3, I will propose what has led to the selection and varied analytical techniques throughout this study and motivated the selection of key cases. I will treat the three cited cases in each individual chapters 4, 5 and 6.

description: The lack of OMA’s Jussieu project in the reference literature could easily be interpreted as a sign of unimportance. However this design for a university library holds essential keys to our question how architecture is spatially composed using landscape strategies. This unbuilt design is an influential work at the turning point of the discipline, where new principles are explored. A whole series of projects by many architects in contemporary architecture could in some way or another relate to this project. In the first section of this chapter I will introduce the argumentation of our various reasons for the choice of the Jussieu project as en example of architecture designed as landscape in regard to existing research in reference literature (4.1). Then I will explain the project in its larger context (4.2). Although Jussieu is an unbuilt design, I will describe the building in a guided walk through from my reading of the design in the sources and the specific ‘pro-construction’ imagery (4.3). I will describe the steps that lead to this imagery later in the chapter. I keep a brief a paragraph about the design (4.4) to explain more about why this project was not built. To analyse the Jussieu project’s workings I display the account of the 4-layer method with all relevant drawings (4.5) and our interpretations of them. As a specific method for this project I chose virtual representations of the design that will be explained in 4.6. I will then test the concept of landscape in our framework of landscape architectural attitudes (4.7) to conclude with a theoretical framing of the essential contribution of proprietary design instruments of this project to architectures emerging landscape design strategies (4.8).

Theory of the strongly disordered Weyl semimetal

description: In disordered Weyl semimetals, mechanisms of topological origin lead to novel mechanisms of transport, which manifest themselves in unconventional types of electromagnetic response. Prominent examples of transport phenomena particular to the Weyl context include the anomalous Hall effect, the chiral magnetic effect, and the formation of totally field dominated regimes of transport in which the longitudinal conductance is proportional to an external magnetic field. In this paper, we discuss the manifestations of these phenomena at large length scales including the cases of strong disorder and/or magnetic field which are beyond the scope of diagrammatic perturbation theory. Our perhaps most striking finding is the identification of a novel regime of drift/diffusion transport where diffusion at short scales gives way to effectively ballistic dynamics at large scales, before a re-entrance to diffusion takes place at yet larger scales. We will show that this regime plays a key role in understanding the interplay of the various types of magnetoresponse of the system. Our results are obtained by describing the strongly disordered system in terms of an effective field theory of Chern-Simons type. The paper contains a self-contained derivation of this theory, and a discussion of both equilibrium and non-equilibrium (noise) transport phenomena following from it.

Rolex Learning Centre at EPFL, Lausanne

Publisher: name: A+BE | Architecture and the Built Environment
Year: 2019

description: The Rolex Learning Centre has been overly announced, published and praised as ‘landscape’ as architecture. Completed in 2010, it is the largest scale international building of Japanese Architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa (SANAA), and it quickly becomes clear the designer’s explicit aim was to solve a complex programmatic and spatial request with an artificial landscape. The commitment of the building to the creation of landscape explains the choice of the project for this study (5.1.). The context of the project in the EPFL campus of Lausanne and its insertion in the lake Geneva landscape deserve some explanation as well as the specific need for it and how that was answered by the design (5.2.). The impression from the field-trip will be described in the next section (5.3.). The challenging form led to a relatively long planning and building process in which quite unusual techniques and structural design were used for concrete reinforcements, formwork and even pouring at high local building standards (5.4.). My 4 layer analysis can be executed in a pure and complete manner (5.5.). The specific analytical method used for Rolex Learning Centre is a visual space analysis of this project with a 3D isovist software tool, a method I will introduce in the respective section (5.6). My exploration of the landscape architectural attitudes will also stress the important role of these spatial aspects among landscape architectural approaches (5.7.). My critique will engage the total picture to understand this creation of landscape as architecture and its extension of our conceptual understanding of landscape strategies (5.8.).

description: Vortices symmetric with respect to simultaneous parity and time reversing transformations are considered on the square lattice in the framework of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The existence and stability of vortex configurations is analyzed in the limit of weak coupling between the lattice sites, when predictions on the elementary cell of a square lattice (i.e., a single square) can be extended to a large (yet finite) array of lattice cells. Our analytical predictions are found to be in good agreement with numerical computations.
Hiding genre distinctions and finding gender divides: an iconographic, formal, and contextual analysis of James Tissot's Hide and Seek
Creators: name: Sweeney, Megan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Resisting the standard categories of genre, James Tissot's Hide and Seek operates within the contexts of studio portraits and domestic scenes. Thus, while registering the character and status of the artist, the painting presents a particular image of the domestic realm and familial relations. It also lends itself to a gendered reading, which is here informed by a discussion of the Aesthetic Movement, Japonisme, and the ties between each of these movements and contemporary conceptions of femininity. In the face of Aestheticism's perceived threat to the masculinity of artist and studio, Hide and Seek reaffirms the ideology of separate spheres. It achieves this end by depersonalizing, objectifying, commodifying, and enclosing the female inhabitants of Tissot's home-studio while evoking an invisible, externalized male presence that seems to resist capture and domestication and to maintain subjectivity, agency, and mobility.

Making sense of the past: informational order and hindsight judgments

Year: 2009

description: Past research as explored the effects of receiving details leading up to an event in a logical, coherent fashion versus a random, fragmented fashion, but no research has considered these effects for judgments of the past, such as the hindsight bias. Also, no past research has looked at the hindsight bias when receiving outcome knowledge before, as opposed to after, learning details leading up to an event. In this thesis, I examined the hypothesis that the order in which people receive details leading up to an event and the order in which people receive outcome knowledge will affect people's judgments of that past event. A significant interaction between Narrative Order and Outcome Order was found for hindsight judgments. The implications of this finding are discussed.
City of Culture of Galicia in Santiago de Compostela

description: The choice of City of Culture of Galicia in Santiago de Compostela will be explained from its validity as a singular case (6.1.). I will explain the context of this project also in the religious world of the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela (6.2.). My impression from the two field-trips in 2014 will precede the analysis (6.3.) and again building this large and ambitious project posed a specific challenge to the merits of a few technical considerations (6.4.). As my documentation will show, this project is designed in a process of layering - not very different form our own analytical model in principle. However, our own layer model of ground form, spatial form, metaphorical form and programmatic form will alter the reading of the project (6.5.). Exactly these analogies between design architectonic process and landscape architectural analysis seem to be worth a specific method of design analysis. I will try to show composition strategies of shifting and shuffling of layers, altering and transforming of scales, stratification and even the inversion of layers as a specific method of this design (6.6.). Composition analysis should show that the specific landscape attitudes in this project are related to the idea of the palimpsest - multi-layered writing or ‘artificial excavation’ as Eisenman calls it in my interview (6.7., A1.31.). One can therefore find many entries in landscape architectonic attitudes but also a surprisingly contrasting position of the author’s denial of landscape influences in favour of what he calls the ‘excess of reason’ to understand this complex design (6.8.).

description: Sodium pentazolates NaN5 andNa2N5, new high energy density materials, are discovered during first principles crystal structure search for the compounds of varying amounts of elemental sodium and nitrogen. The pentazole anion N5- is stabilized in the condensed phase by sodium Na+ cations at pressures exceeding 20 GPa, and becomes metastable upon release of pressure. The sodium azide (NaN3) precursor is predicted to undergo a chemical transformation above 50 GPa into sodium pentazolates NaN5 and Na2N5. The calculated Raman spectrum of NaN5 is in agreement with the experimental Raman spectrum of a previously unidentified substance appearing upon compression and heating of NaN3.

description: We present a detailed analysis of the best-quality multi-wavelength data gathered for the large-scale jet in the core-dominated quasar 3C 273. We analyze all the archival observations of the target with the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the far-ultraviolet observations with the Hubble Space Telescope, and the 8.4 GHz map obtained with the Very Large Array. In our study we focus on investigating the morphology of the outflow at different frequencies, and therefore we apply various techniques for the image deconvolution, paying particular attention to a precise modeling of the Chandra and Hubble point spread functions. We find that the prominent brightness enhancements in the X-ray and far-ultraviolet jet of 3C 273 - the "knots" - are not point-like, and can be resolved transversely as extended features with sizes of about $\simeq 0.5$ kpc. Also, the radio outflow is wider than the deconvolved X-ray/ultraviolet jet. We have also found circumstantial evidence that the intensity peaks of the X-ray knots are located systematically upstream of the corresponding radio intensity peaks, with the projected spatial offsets along the jet ranging from $\lesssim 0.2$ kpc up to $\simeq 1$ kpc. We discuss our findings in the wider context of multi-component models for the emission and structure of large-scale quasar jets, and speculate on the physical processes enabling an efficient acceleration of the emitting ultra-relativistic electrons along the entire jet length that exceeds 100 kpc.

$U(1)$ Chiral Symmetry in One-Dimensional Interacting Electron System with Spin

description: We study a spin dependent Tomonaga-Luttinger model in one dimension, which describes electron transport through a single barrier. Using the Fermi-Bose equivalence in one dimension, we map the model onto a massless Thirring model with a boundary interaction. A field theoretical perturbation theory for the model has been developed and the chiral symmetry is found to play an important role. The classical bulk action possesses a global $U_A(1)^4$ chiral symmetry, since the fermion fields are massless. This global chiral symmetry is broken by the boundary interaction and the bosonic degrees of freedom, corresponding to the chiral phase transformation, become dynamical. They acquire an additional kinetic action from the fermion path integral measure and govern the critical behaviors of physical operators. On the critical line where the boundary interaction becomes marginal, they decouple from the fermi fields. Consequently the action reduces to the free field action, which contains only a fermion bilinear boundary mass term as an interaction term. By a renormalization group analysis, we obtain a new critical line, which differs from the previously known critical lines in the literature. The result of this work implies that the phase diagram of the one dimensional electron system may have a richer structure than previously known.

description: The first chapter introduces the central questions and purpose of the thesis and explores the ways in which landscape could again become relevant for architecture. I will establish the background to our spatial analysis by defining landscape and architecture in a theoretical elaboration of their crucial interrelations. I will give an outline of the the context of this research (1.1) and state the research questions (1.2). I will open the next section by stating the context of discussion: apparent distinction between architecture and landscape in exemplary theoretical and practical works (1.3). I will then review and reflect on the literature that touched on the subject of this thesis, buildings that have been designed like landscapes, focusing on the aspects that are particularly relevant to the thesis (1.4). These reflections will not only show an increasing interest in landscape as a phenomenon of contemporary architecture but also position the emerging landscape strategies in architecture that I will demonstrate as both critical and urgent towards architects in design practice. Section 1.5. will introduce the methodology in relation to these precedents.

description: The coronagraph instrument on the WFIRST-AFTA mission study has two coronagraphic architectures, shaped pupil and hybrid Lyot, which may be interchanged for use in different observing scenarios. Each architecture relies on newly-developed mask components to function in the presence of the AFTA aperture, and so both must be matured to a high technology readiness level (TRL) in advance of the mission. A series of milestones were set to track the development of the technologies required for the instrument; in this paper, we report on completion of WFIRST-AFTA Coronagraph Milestone 2---a narrowband $10^{-8}$ contrast test with static aberrations for the shaped pupil---and the plans for the upcoming broadband Coronagraph Milestone 5.

description: We present and discuss results from time-distance helioseismic measurements of meridional circulation in the solar convection zone using 4 years of Doppler velocity observations by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Using an in-built mass conservation constraint in terms of the stream function we invert helioseismic travel times to infer meridional circulation in the solar convection zone. We find that the return flow that closes the meridional circulation is possibly beneath the depth of $0.77 R_{\odot}$. We discuss the significance of this result in relation to other helioseismic inferences published recently and possible reasons for the differences in the results. Our results show clearly the pitfalls involved in the measurements of material flows in the deep solar interior given the current limits on signal-to-noise and our limited understanding of systematics in the data. We also discuss the implications of our results for the dynamics of solar interior and popular solar dynamo models.

Affectual Solidarity: Measurement, Theoretical Validity, and Dimensionality

Year: 2006

description: This paper reviews the theory and predictions of the Intergenerational Stake Hypothesis (ISH) specifically examining its element of Affectual Solidarity (AS). It looks at past measures of AS, what they show regarding mother and child report congruence, and their weaknesses. Using paired questions and data from all three waves of the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH) corresponding to the ISH definition, confirmatory factor analysis is used to create a uni-dimensional measurement instrument of a mother and her adult child's perceived relationship quality of AS. Using this instrument, the implied dimensionality of the latent concept of one shared perception of AS is rejected in favor of separate dimensions for mother and child. Further, it is found, contrary to previous research and ISH prediction, that children are often significantly more positive in ratings of AS than their mothers. A multinomial regression model of socio-demographic characteristics and report congruence is created.

The structure of mammalian telomeres associated with the shelterin subcomplexes
Creators: name: Cakit, Ceylan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Telomeres are the specialized DNA-protein complexes at eukaryotic chromosome ends. They are essential to protect linear chromosome ends from nucleolytic attack and chromosomal end-to-end fusions, which may lead to chromosomal abnormalities. Genomic instability, a hallmark for both cancer and aging, is majorly induced by chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, telomere length and structure are equally important for the maintenance of genomic stability. Mammalian telomeres associate with a six-subunit, telomere-specific shelterin complex, as well as shelterin subcomplexes. In this study, I will visualize the structure of mammalian telomeres associated with the shelterin subcomplexes using electron microscopy (EM). In order to achieve this goal, I will examine the association of model telomeres with single-stranded and double-stranded telomeric DNA repeat binding proteins separately. This study will be extremely valuable for understanding the mechanistic details of the regulation of mammalian telomere structure and function by the shelterin complex subunits and subcomplexes.

Teacher self-efficacy and the social skill development of included students with special needs in the general classroom setting
Creators: name: Shreve, Stephanie D.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Students with special needs increasingly are educated in the general classroom. Research suggests that teachers in the general education classroom often do not feel prepared to instruct students with special needs in their classrooms. This study used data from 2,961 students in Wave 2 of the Special Education Elementary Longitudinal Study (SEELS), collected by the U.S. Department of Education. Students in the sample were 7 to 14 years old and diagnosed with a variety of disabilities and included in the general classroom setting as part of their Language Arts instruction. This study examined the effects of teacher self-efficacy on the social skill development of students with special needs, and whether academic achievement mediated the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and student social skill development. Teacher self-efficacy, mediated by academic achievement, was found to predict student social skill development. Implications for future research and educational practice are discussed.

description: Investeringen door woningcorporaties zijn van groot belang voor de continuïteit van de stedelijke vernieuwing in Nederland. Corporaties keren echter terug naar hun kerntaak en zijn terughoudend om te werken aan herdifferentiatie van vernieuwingswijken. Dit proefschrift maakt inzichtelijk op welke wijze investeringsbeslissingen van woningcorporaties in stedelijke vernieuwing tot stand komen in samenwerking met andere actoren. Op basis van een casestudy zijn eerst factoren verkend die van invloed zijn op het investeringsgedrag. Vervolgens is aan de hand van gamesimulaties onderzocht of corporaties en respectievelijk beleggers, bouwers en gemeenten elkaar kunnen stimuleren om te investeren door een andere samenwerkingswijze. De onderzoeksresultaten wijzen uit dat er met name kansen liggen in de samenwerking van corporaties met beleggers en gemeenten. In het samenspel met beleggers is onder meer transparantie van belang en is cultuurverschil een belemmerende factor. In het samenspel met bouwers leiden langdurige samenwerkingsafspraken tot meer snelheid in investeringsbeslissingen, maar niet tot de gewenste kostenreductie. In het samenspel met gemeenten zijn een gedeelde visie en een wederkerige vertrouwensrelatie van groot belang.

Unintended effects of staying positive: investigating the influence of partners' coping style on patients' adjustment to breast cancer
Creators: name: Paprocki, Christine
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: Treatment for breast cancer involves both a patient and her family members. Partners may be particularly affected, as they are often the primary source of support for the patient. Some partners want to protect the patient by avoiding discussions of her cancer-related distress. However, research suggests that if partners do this, there may be detrimental effects on patients' well-being. This paper presents findings from 161 couples enrolled in a couples-based intervention for women with early-stage breast cancer. The findings indicate that when partners of breast cancer patients engaged in distancing behavior, the patient experienced more depressive symptoms. Also, patients who had higher marital satisfaction reported more cancer pain when their partners avoided discussing the cancer compared to patients who had lower marital satisfaction. These findings imply that partners' distancing behavior is associated with lower patient well-being, and perhaps functions differently in couples with high marital satisfaction.

description: Full general relativity is almost certainly 'chaotic'. We argue that this entails a notion of nonintegrability: a generic general relativistic model, at least when coupled to cosmologically interesting matter, likely possesses neither differentiable Dirac observables nor a reduced phase space. It follows that the standard notion of observable has to be extended to include non-differentiable or even discontinuous generalized observables. These cannot carry Poisson-algebraic structures and do not admit a standard quantization; one thus faces a quantum representation problem of gravitational observables. This has deep consequences for a quantum theory of gravity, which we investigate in a simple model for a system with Hamiltonian constraint that fails to be completely integrable. We show that basing the quantization on standard topology precludes a semiclassical limit and can even prohibit any solutions to the quantum constraints. Our proposed solution to this problem is to refine topology such that a complete set of Dirac observables becomes continuous. In the toy model, it turns out that a refinement to a polymer-type topology, as e.g. used in loop gravity, is sufficient. Basing quantization of the toy model on this finer topology, we find a complete set of quantum Dirac observables and a suitable semiclassical limit. This strategy is applicable to realistic candidate theories of quantum gravity and thereby suggests a solution to a long-standing problem which implies ramifications for the very concept of quantization. Our work reveals a qualitatively novel facet of chaos in physics and opens up a new avenue of research on chaos in gravity which hints at deep insights into the structure of quantum gravity.

description: We consider searches for dark matter annihilation in the Sun resulting in monoenergetic neutrinos, produced either directly or through the decay of stopped pions and kaons. We find that this strategy is very successful at increasing the signal-to-background ratio, but that current experiments may be signal limited. We discuss the exposures need to fully exploit this search strategy.

description: In the present work we study elliptic operators on manifolds with singularities in the situation, when the manifold is endowed with an action of a discrete group $G$. As usual in elliptic theory, the Fredholm property of an operator is governed by the properties of its principal symbol. We show that the principal symbol in our situation is a pair, consisting of the symbol on the main stratum (interior symbol) and the symbol at the conical point (conormal symbol). Fredholm property of elliptic elements is obtained.

description: We consider the Black--Scholes model of financial market modified to capture the stochastic nature of volatility observed at real financial markets. For volatility driven by the Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process, we establish the existence of equivalent martingale measure in the market model. The option is priced with respect to the minimal martingale measure for the case of uncorrelated processes of volatility and asset price, and an analytic expression for the price of European call option is derived. We use the inverse Fourier transform of a characteristic function and the Gaussian property of the Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process.

Fuglede's spectral set conjecture for convex polytopes

description: Let $Ω$ be a convex polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We say that $Ω$ is spectral if the space $L^2(Ω)$ admits an orthogonal basis consisting of exponential functions. There is a conjecture, which goes back to Fuglede (1974), that $Ω$ is spectral if and only if it can tile the space by translations. It is known that if $Ω$ tiles then it is spectral, but the converse was proved only in dimension $d=2$, by Iosevich, Katz and Tao. By a result due to Kolountzakis, if a convex polytope $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is spectral, then it must be centrally symmetric. We prove that also all the facets of $Ω$ are centrally symmetric. These conditions are necessary for $Ω$ to tile by translations. We also develop an approach which allows us to prove that in dimension $d=3$, any spectral convex polytope $Ω$ indeed tiles by translations. Thus we obtain that Fuglede's conjecture is true for convex polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^3$.

description: The Extremely Large Telescopes currently under construction have a collecting area that is an order of magnitude larger than the present largest optical telescopes. For seeing-limited observations the performance will scale as the collecting area but, with the successful use of adaptive optics, for many applications it will scale as $D^4$ (where $D$ is the diameter of the primary mirror). Central to the success of the ELTs, therefore, is the successful use of multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) that applies a high degree correction over a field of view larger than the few arcseconds that limits classical adaptive optics systems. In this letter, we report on the analysis of crowded field images taken on the central region of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 1851 in $K_s$ band using GeMS at the Gemini South telescope, the only science-grade MCAO system in operation. We use this cluster as a benchmark to verify the ability to achieve precise near-infrared photometry by presenting the deepest $K_s$ photometry in crowded fields ever obtained from the ground. We construct a colour-magnitude diagram in combination with the F606W band from HST/ACS. As well as detecting the "knee" in the lower main sequence at $K_s\simeq20.5$, we also detect the double subgiant branch of NGC 1851, that demonstrates the high photometric accuracy of GeMS in crowded fields.

Non Fermi Liquid Crossovers in a Quasi-One-Dimensional Conductor in a Tilted Magnetic Field

description: We consider a theoretical problem of electron-electron scattering time in a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) conductor in a magnetic field, perpendicular to its conducting axis. We show that inverse electron-electron scattering time becomes of the order of characteristic electron energy, $1/τ\sim ε\sim T$, in a high magnetic field, directed far from the main crystallographic axes, which indicates breakdown of the Fermi liquid theory. In a magnetic field, directed close to one of the main crystallographic axis, inverse electron-electron scattering time becomes much smaller than characteristic electron energy and, thus, applicability of Fermi liquid theory restores. We suggest that there exist crossovers between Fermi liquid and some non Fermi liquid states in a strong enough tilted magnetic field. Application of our results to the Q1D conductor (Per)$_2$Au(mnt)$_2$ shows that it has to be possible to observe the above mentioned phenomenon in feasibly high magnetic fields of the order of $H \geq H^* \simeq 25 \ T$.

The Salience Of Sectarianism: Iraqi Shi‘a in American Perceptions, 1958-1979
Creators: name: Merkel, Lauren

description: This thesis traces the emergence of official American perceptions of Shi‘a sectarianism in Iraq and identifies the transition point when American diplomats and intelligence analysts began to perceive the Iraqi Shi‘a as a threat to American interests in the region. Two factors shaped these perceptions: First, a lack of knowledge and mistaken understanding of Iraqi Shi‘a communities and political dissident movements among the American diplomatic and intelligence communities contributed to a false equivalence of Iraqi Shi‘a dissidence as purely religious when its goals were largely political in nature. Second, these misperceptions regarding internal Iraqi society allowed external factors, such as the Cold War and the Iranian Revolution, to play a disproportionate role in shaping official American perceptions of Iraqi Shi‘a sectarianism.
Illusory truth or illusory belief?

description: Numerous studies have shown that mere exposure to a statement can increase that statement’s believability, a phenomenon known as the “Illusory Truth Effect” (Hasher, 1977; Unkelbach, 2007; De Keersmaecker, 2019). However, it remains unclear whether mere exposure to a statement truly engenders belief in that statement. Of course, willingness to assent to propositions is one key implication of belief. But holding beliefs also implies other cognitive and behavioral outcomes: beliefs imply other beliefs, and they should inform our actions and decision-making. In this study, we seek to examine whether the illusory truth effect engenders genuine beliefs by testing whether mere exposure to one set of statements affects beliefs in other statements implied by the first.
