Kemp, Paige L.; Alexander, Timothy R.; Wahlheim, Christopher N. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Fake news can impair memory leading to societal controversies such as COVID-19 vaccine efficacy. The pernicious influence of fake news is clear when ineffective corrections leave memories outdated.
