Misinformation and Its Correction: Continued Influence and Successful Debiasing
We look at people's memory for misinformation and answer the questions of why retractions of misinformation are so ineffective in memory updating and why efforts to retract misinformation can even backfire and, ironically, increase misbelief.
Review of why retractions often fail to remove the influence of misinformation (the 'continued influence effect') and of techniques for debunking.
