Article Synopsis
- Misinformation can change what we believe, so it's important to know how we accept or change false information.
- In two experiments with fake psychic shows, people tended to believe in psychic abilities even after being warned they were tricks.
- When they learned how the tricks were done, their belief in psychics went down right away and stayed down for a week after the show.
