Our lives revolve around the acquisition of information. Sometimes the information weacquirefrom other people, from books, or from the medi -- -is wrong. Studies show that people relyon such misinformation, sometimes even when they are aware that the information is inaccurate orinvalid. And yet investigations of learning and knowledge acquisition largely ignore encounters withthis sort of problematic material. This volume fills the gap, offering theoretical and empiricalperspectives on the processing of misinformation and its consequences.

Thecontributors, from cognitive science and education science, provide analyses that represent avariety of methodologies, theoretical orientations, and fields of expertise. The chapters describethe behavioral consequences of relying on misinformation and outline possible remediations; discussthe cognitive activities that underlie encounters with inaccuracies, investigating why relianceoccurs so readily; present theoretical and philosophical considerations of the nature ofinaccuracies; and offer formal, empirically driven frameworks that detail when and how inaccuracieswill lead to comprehensiondifficulties.
