An experiment was conducted to examine the effects of prior exposure to printed advertising on the preference judgements for advertizements and parts of those advertizements. Perfect and Askew (1994) showed that prior exposure led to more favourable judgements towards printed material, independent of whether the original exposure was remembered. It was expected that this finding would be replicated and that subparts of the original material (logos) would also be favourably rated, whilst material with changed perceptual features (company names in standard font) would not. The results supported the hypotheses. The possible implications of such findings for advertisers are discussed.

The Nutrition Society will publish in its Proceedings papers presented by invitation at symposia of the Society and abstracts of original communications presented at other meetings. Invitations to read papers at symposia are issued on the understanding that the persons invited send their papers for publication in the Proceedings of The Nutrition Socioty in the way outlined in the letter of invitation, at least a fortnight before the meeting, and that the papers will not be offered in that form for prior publication in any other journal.
