作者:
Highlights:
• Disinformation news content is recalled at a similar rate as content that is factually correct.
• Partisans might be more tempted to communicate story details that support their party regardless if it is accurate.
• Exposure to text and image articles generated greater recall when compared to video for non-disinformation news.
• Exposure to the text article and video generated greater recall when compared to the image article for disinformation news.
• Expectancy-violation may explain differentiating rates of recall across modalities and news types.
