Does repetition increase perceived truth equally for conspiracy and trivia statements? A registered replication report
Repetition increases the perceived truth of information. This illusory truth effect is a well-documented and robust phenomenon. Although research has primarily focused on trivia statements, the effects of repetition on belief have also been identified for consequential statements such as fake news headlines. Moreover, research reveals repetition increases accuracy ratings for conspiracy statements. However, in past work, the illusory truth effect…
How to counter health misinformation when it’s coming from the top
Health misinformation is now being generated and spread by those in charge of the United States’ public health system. Multiple interventions against health misinformation have been identified and are effective, but many are challenging to implement in the current political environment. Effective interventions require accountability and societal repercussions for purveyors of disinformation, particularly those with power and large audiences
How prior knowledge and statement truth affect retrieval experiences over time
When retrieving information, people often shift over time from "Remembering" high levels of detail about a study episode to simply "Knowing" the information absent such detail. This "Remember-Know" shift is well-documented for true information, and recent work suggests that this effect exists, but is attenuated, for false information. One explanation for this difference is that true information is better represented in people's prior knowledge, s…
Using psychological science to understand and fight health misinformation
There is widespread concern that misinformation poses dangerous risks to health, well-being, and civic life. Despite a growing body of research on the topic, significant questions remain about the psychological factors that render people susceptible to misinformation, the extent to which it affects real-world behavior, how it spreads online and offline, and intervention strategies that counter and correct misinformation effectively. This report r…
Toolbox of individual-level interventions against online misinformation
All the President’s Lies
A hallmark of the Trump presidency was a stream of false statements, many of which were repeated dozens or even hundreds of times. But whether (and to what extent) this repetition translates into public misperceptions remains an open question. We address this question by leveraging the most comprehensive data on Trump’s repetition of misleading claims during his presidency. In a national survey asking Americans to evaluate the truth of claims fro…
The role of recalling previous errors in middle‐school children's learning
BACKGROUND: Committing errors is a common part of the learning process, and adults are more likely to correct errors that they can recall. However, preadolescent children's recall of previous errors (i.e., memory for errors) may be limited. AIMS: We examined children's ability to recall their past errors and tested whether recalling an error aids error correction. SAMPLES: We worked with 102 (Study 1) and 173 (Study 2) middle-school children in t…
Repetition increases perceived truth equally for plausible and implausible statements
Retrieval practice opportunities in middle school mathematics teachers’ oral questions
BACKGROUND: Tasks that involve retrieving information from memory, such as answering short answer questions, are more effective at improving learning than restudying, concept mapping, and other study techniques. However, little is known about how often teachers naturally provide these retrieval practice opportunities during lectures and classroom discussions. AIMS: To identify how often teachers ask questions that require retrieval, what types of…
Relations of different types of numerical magnitude representations to each other and to mathematics achievement
Microgenetic Learning Analysis
Parnafes and diSessa [this issue] present a useful description of the process of doing microgenetic analysis of qualitative data and report interesting findings about how students’ reasoning changes as they gain relevant experience. We are pleased that microgenetic approaches are being applied to educational issues and agree with the authors that new knowledge can be gained by closely examining changes in students’ thinking over time. Conceptual …
