Table_1_The inhibitory impact of collaboration on the continued influence effect of misinformation.DOCX

The continued influence effect (CIE) of misinformation refers to the persistence of misinformation’s impact on memory and inference even when individuals are aware of a retraction. This study examined whether collaborative processes affect the CIE and investigated the underlying mechanisms through three experiments. Experiment 1 explored the general impact of collaboration on the CIE. Experiment 2 further dissected collaboration into turn-taking and free collaboration conditions, assessing their effects on the CIE at various recall intervals. Building on these findings, Experiment 3 delved into the mechanisms driving the differential effects of turn-taking and free collaboration on misinformation correction. Results revealed that turn-taking collaboration consistently mitigates the CIE, while the effect of free collaboration on misinformation correction is moderated by recall time. This variation is attributed to differences in re-exposure, cross-cuing, and forgetting across collaboration types. The present study contributes empirical support to the Knowledge Revision Theory of the CIE.

虚假信息的持续影响效应（CIE）指即使个体意识到撤回，虚假信息对记忆和推理的影响仍持续存在。本研究探讨了协作过程是否会影响CIE，并通过三个实验探究了其潜在机制。实验1探讨了协作对CIE的一般影响。实验2进一步将协作细分为轮流协作和自由协作条件，评估了它们在不同回忆间隔对CIE的影响。基于这些发现，实验3深入研究了轮流协作和自由协作对虚假信息纠正差异效应的驱动机制。结果显示，轮流协作持续减轻了CIE，而自由协作对虚假信息纠正的影响则受到回忆时间的调节。这种变化归因于协作类型之间的重新暴露、交叉提示和遗忘的差异。本研究为CIE的知识修订理论提供了经验支持。
