TIL: The illusory truth

[timelets]

In a 2014 study, Eryn J. Newman, Mevagh Sanson, Emily K. Miller, Adele Quigley-McBride, Jeffrey L. Foster, Daniel M. Bernstein, and Maryanne Garry asked participants to judge the truth of statements attributed to various people, some of whose names were easier to pronounce than others. Consistently, statements by persons with easily pronounced names were viewed as being more truthful than those with names that were harder to pronounce.

In the first study, when older adults were repeatedly told that a claim was false, repetition helped them remember the claim immediately thereafter as false. But paradoxically, after 3 days had passed, the more times older adults had been warned that a claim was false, the more likely they were to misremember the claim as true. In the second study, trying to discredit claims after making them familiar to older adults backfired and increased their tendency to call those claims true.
