Research suggests exposure to misinformation continues to impact belief and reasoning, even if that misinformation has been corrected (referred to as the Continued Influence Effect, CIE). The proposed experiment explores two potentially important factors that may impact the effect: (a) learner age and (b) length of delay between retraction and final test. During initial learning, participants (both young and older adults) will read six scenarios in which a critical piece of misinformation is either retracted or not retracted. Following no delay, a short (10 min) delay, or a long (2 days) delay, participants will then answer inferential reasoning questions about the previously‐studied scenarios to evaluate how (if at all) the prior retraction impacts reliance on misinformation. Outcomes will better help us to understand the ways in which misinformation (even following retraction) impacts reasoning, an issue of exceeding importance as the proliferation of fake news shows no signs of slowing.

持续的影响效果：研究年龄，收缩和延迟如何影响推理推理

研究表明，即使已经纠正了错误信息（被称为持续影响效应，CIE），暴露于错误信息的情况仍会继续影响信念和推理。）。拟议的实验探讨了可能影响效果的两个潜在重要因素：（a）学习者年龄和（b）收回与最终测试之间的延迟时间。在初始学习期间，参与者（无论年轻人还是老年人）将阅读六个场景，在这些场景中，关键的错误信息可以被收回，也可以不被收回。在没有延迟，短暂（10分钟）或长时间（2天）的延迟之后，参与者将回答关于先前研究的场景的推理推理问题，以评估先前的撤消（如果有的话）如何影响对错误信息的依赖。结果将更好地帮助我们理解错误信息（甚至在撤消之后）影响推理的方式，这一问题极为重要，因为假新闻的扩散并未显示出放缓的迹象。
