Over the last few decades, empirical researchers have become increasingly interested in explaining the formation of “basic” aesthetic judgments, i.e. simple judgments of sensory preferability and the pleasure that seems to accompany them. To that end, Reber et al. have recently defended a “processing-fluency” view, which identifies aesthetic pleasure with one’s ability to easily process an object’s perceptual properties (e.g. Reber 2012). While the processing-fluency theory is certainly an improvement over its competitors, it is currently vulnerable to several serious criticisms. In what follows, I aim to provide a more holistic, explanatorily robust, model of the processing-fluency theory of aesthetic pleasure by incorporating what the view neglects: the crucial role of perceptual disfluency, interest, and the underlying values that drive aesthetic appraisal.

在过去的几十年里，实证研究人员对解释“基本”审美判断的形成越来越感兴趣，即对感官偏好的简单判断和似乎伴随着它们的愉悦。为此，Reber 等人。最近为“处理流畅”观点辩护，该观点将审美愉悦与轻松处理对象感知属性的能力相结合（例如 Reber 2012）。虽然处理流畅性理论无疑比其竞争对手有所改进，但它目前容易受到一些严重的批评。在接下来的内容中，我的目标是通过整合该观点所忽视的内容：感知不流畅、兴趣、
