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）指的是即便个体知晓了撤回信息，虚假信息对记忆和推理的影响仍然持续存在。本研究探讨了协作过程是否会影响CIE，并通过三个实验对潜在的机制进行了探究。实验1考察了协作对CIE的一般影响。实验2将协作进一步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。在上述发现的基础上，实验3深入探讨了轮流协作和自由协作对虚假信息纠正的不同影响背后的机制。结果显示，轮流协作持续地缓解了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。这种变化归因于不同协作类型在重复接触、交叉提示和遗忘方面的差异。本研究为CIE的知识修订理论提供了实证支持。
