The rhyme-as-reason effect is a cognitive bias favoring a rhyming statement as more truthful than a nonrhyming statement.
The effect is also called the Eaton-Rosen phenomenon.
Research quote
"Our results suggest that rhyme, like repetition, affords statements an enhancement in processing fluency that can be misattributed to heightened conviction about their truthfulness." McGlone & Tofighbakhsh (2000, Abstract)
