Why the illusory truth effect works
What’s interesting about this subject is the fact that many people read about politicians and the recent news, believing every word they read. It’s very hard to find the truth through media. The author illustrates his article very formally with a rich vocabulary. He says “Any differences in how people thought did not impact the strength of the effect, highlighting that most of us are likely to start believing oft-repeated information.” The author explains very clearly to ensure the correct message be taken from his writing, the message, of course, to be to double-check what you’ve read online. The article reminded me a lot about American politics as the current president continues his war upon “fake news”. The president constantly accuses every media, that do not agree with his views, fake news. The only news he agrees with is the opinion based articles that share his views. The article showed how many people can’t decide which is fake or real because there are so many possibilities and different ways of writing them.
