Investigating the neural substrates of the continued influence of misinformation

This is an updated registration of the project that can be found at https://osf.io/te8hq/ - Our earlier registration contained the wrong p value for the cluster-significance threshold (page 11) Our aim is to gain a better understanding of the cognitive mechanisms underlying continued reliance on misinformation. To this end we will present subjects with brief fictional news reports that may or may not require their memory to be updated. Reliance on misinformation will be assessed through a decision task involving the clarification of a picture as a 'match' or 'mismatch' for the preceding report.
