👀 yikes! Maybe knowledge doesn't safeguard us from misinfo? "Recently, a team … set out to test how the 'illusion of truth effect' interacts with our prior knowledge. Would it affect our existing knowledge? They used paired true and un-true statements, but also split their items according to how likely participants were to know the truth … Their results … suggest that prior knowledge won’t prevent repetition from swaying our judgements of plausibility." https://mstdn.fname.ca/@crispius/117043121364507783
