SUMMARY:The Correction of Misinformation | Binge Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Join us and grab a drink as a cognitive psychologist breaks down why misinformation spreads — and why correcting people is so difficult. \n\n\n\n\nWelcome to Binge Thinking! We host professors at local pubs to give talks on fascinating topics. \nTopic: The Correction of Misinformation\nSpeaker: Briony Swire-Thompson (Northeastern University) \nWhy do people continue believing things even after they’ve been proven false? \nIn an age of endless newsfeeds\, viral posts\, conspiracy theories\, and AI-generated content\, misinformation has become one of the defining problems of modern life. But according to cognitive psychologist Dr. Briony Swire-Thompson\, simply giving people the facts often isn’t enough. \nHer research explores the psychology behind belief formation\, resistance to evidence\, and why some corrections succeed while others completely fail. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Swire-Thompson will explain how misinformation changes the way we think — and what science says about how to actually correct it. \nTopics include: \nWhy people believe inaccurate information in the first place \nWhy some individuals resist changing their beliefs even when presented with strong evidence \nHow effective corrections and fact-checks are designed \nThe surprising limitations of fact-checking \nWhen corrections improve accuracy — and when they backfire \nThis talk combines psychology\, media\, politics\, and cognitive science to explore one of the biggest challenges of the internet age. \nAgenda:\n7:00 PM – Doors Open\, drinks and socializing\n7:30 PM – Lecture begins\n8:10 PM – Audience Q&A\n8:30-9:00 PM – More drinks and conversation \nCome meet curious people\, grab a drink\, and learn something new. \nThink Responsibly.
