Index Misinformation effect

The misinformation effect occurs when a person's recall of episodic memories becomes less accurate because of post-event information.[1]

Confabulation

In psychology, confabulation is a memory error consisting of the production of fabricated, distorted, or misinterpreted memories about oneself or the world. Misinformation effect and confabulation are error and memory biases.

See Misinformation effect and Confabulation

Electroencephalography

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a method to record an electrogram of the spontaneous electrical activity of the brain.

See Misinformation effect and Electroencephalography

Elizabeth Loftus

Elizabeth F. Loftus (born 1944) is an American psychologist who is best known in relation to the misinformation effect, false memory and criticism of recovered memory therapies.

See Misinformation effect and Elizabeth Loftus

Empathy

Empathy is generally described as the ability to take on another's perspective, to understand, feel, and possibly share and respond to their experience.

See Misinformation effect and Empathy

Encoding (memory)

Memory has the ability to encode, store and recall information.

See Misinformation effect and Encoding (memory)

Episodic memory

Episodic memory is the memory of everyday events (such as times, location geography, associated emotions, and other contextual information) that can be explicitly stated or conjured.

See Misinformation effect and Episodic memory

Eyewitness memory

Eyewitness memory is a person's episodic memory for a crime or other witnessed dramatic event. Misinformation effect and Eyewitness memory are memory biases.

See Misinformation effect and Eyewitness memory

Eyewitness testimony

Eyewitness testimony is the account a bystander or victim gives in the courtroom, describing what that person observed that occurred during the specific incident under investigation.

See Misinformation effect and Eyewitness testimony

Flow (psychology)

Flow in positive psychology, also known colloquially as being in the zone or locked in, is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.

See Misinformation effect and Flow (psychology)

Functional magnetic resonance imaging

Functional magnetic resonance imaging or functional MRI (fMRI) measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow.

See Misinformation effect and Functional magnetic resonance imaging

Fusiform gyrus

The fusiform gyrus, also known as the lateral occipitotemporal gyrus, is part of the temporal lobe and occipital lobe in Brodmann area 37.

See Misinformation effect and Fusiform gyrus

Hindsight bias

Hindsight bias, also known as the knew-it-all-along phenomenon or creeping determinism, is the common tendency for people to perceive past events as having been more predictable than they were. Misinformation effect and Hindsight bias are error and memory biases.

See Misinformation effect and Hindsight bias

Interference theory

The interference theory is a theory regarding human memory.

See Misinformation effect and Interference theory

ISSN

An International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is an eight-digit serial number used to uniquely identify a serial publication (periodical), such as a magazine.

See Misinformation effect and ISSN

Leading question

A leading question is a question that suggests a particular answer and contains information the examiner is looking to have confirmed.

See Misinformation effect and Leading question

Memory conformity

Memory conformity, also known as social contagion of memory, is the phenomenon where memories or information reported by others influences an individual and is incorporated into the individual's memory. Misinformation effect and memory conformity are memory biases.

See Misinformation effect and Memory conformity

Misattribution of memory

In psychology, the misattribution of memory or source misattribution is the misidentification of the origin of a memory by the person making the memory recall. Misinformation effect and misattribution of memory are error and memory biases.

See Misinformation effect and Misattribution of memory

Misinformation

Misinformation is incorrect or misleading information.

See Misinformation effect and Misinformation

Myers–Briggs Type Indicator

The Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a pseudoscientific self-report questionnaire that claims to indicate differing "psychological types" (often commonly called "personality types").

See Misinformation effect and Myers–Briggs Type Indicator

Narrative

A narrative, story, or tale is any account of a series of related events or experiences, whether non-fictional (memoir, biography, news report, documentary, travelogue, etc.) or fictional (fairy tale, fable, legend, thriller, novel, etc.). Narratives can be presented through a sequence of written or spoken words, through still or moving images, or through any combination of these.

See Misinformation effect and Narrative

Occipital lobe

The occipital lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals.

See Misinformation effect and Occipital lobe

Photograph

A photograph (also known as a photo, image, or picture) is an image created by light falling on a photosensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic image sensor, such as a CCD or a CMOS chip.

See Misinformation effect and Photograph

Recall (memory)

Recall in memory refers to the mental process of retrieval of information from the past.

See Misinformation effect and Recall (memory)

Reversal film

In photography, reversal film or slide film is a type of photographic film that produces a positive image on a transparent base.

See Misinformation effect and Reversal film

Self-monitoring

Self-monitoring, a concept introduced in the 1970s by Mark Snyder, describes the extent to which people monitor their self-presentations, expressive behavior, and nonverbal affective displays.

See Misinformation effect and Self-monitoring

Stop sign

A stop sign is a traffic sign designed to notify drivers that they must come to a complete stop and make sure the intersection (or railroad crossing) is safely clear of vehicles and pedestrians before continuing past the sign.

See Misinformation effect and Stop sign

Storage (memory)

In mental memory, storage is one of three fundamental stages along with encoding and retrieval.

See Misinformation effect and Storage (memory)

Suggestibility

Suggestibility is the quality of being inclined to accept and act on the suggestions of others.

See Misinformation effect and Suggestibility

Temporal lobe

The temporal lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals.

See Misinformation effect and Temporal lobe

Weapon focus

Weapon focus is the concentration on a weapon by a witness of a crime and the subsequent inability to accurately remember other details of the crime.

See Misinformation effect and Weapon focus

Yield sign

In road transport, a yield or give way sign indicates that merging drivers must prepare to stop if necessary to let a driver on another approach proceed.

See Misinformation effect and Yield sign
