“…A plethora of research on the illusory truth effect suggests that the mere repetition of information increases its perceived truthfulness, making even successful corrections susceptible to unintended consequences (Effron & Raj, 2020;Fazio et al, 2015;Pennycook et al, 2018). Despite popular concerns about potential backfire-effects, where a correction inadvertently increases the belief in-or reliance onmisinformation itself, research has not found such effects to be commonplace (e.g., see Ecker et al, 2019;Swire-Thompson et al, 2020;Wood & Porter, 2019). Yet, there is reason to believe that debunking misinformation can still be challenging in light of both (politically) motivated cognition (Flynn et al, 2017), and the continued influence effect (CIE) where people continue to retrieve false information from memory despite acknowledging a correction (Chan et al, 2017;Lewandowsky et al, 2012;Walter & Tukachinsky, 2020).…”
