Week 13
During the presentations, I learned a lot of information about theories and the key concepts like Illusory truth effect, Confirmation Bias, Gatekeeping,
The first concept that was spoken about was the Illusory truth effect. This is when someone believes in false information due to repetition. People who hear certain statements repeated are more likely to believe it compared to statements that aren't repeated.
The next concept was Confirmation Bias which can have a large impact on how we recall and interpret information. This is when someone favors certain information by finding evidence of existing beliefs. People usually believe in information that supports the views as opposed to information that doesn't.
On the other hand, Gatekeeping is the next Theory that was brought up during the presentations. Gatekeeping is when someone filters certain information whether it from the news from their friends or from other models of communication.
