Adaptive Intuitions in Complex Media Environments Shape Belief in Misinformation
… to the proportion of true and false content (the veracity base rate). I use computational modeling to show that these differences are driven by intuitions, which correspond to Bayesian priors, about the veracity of the content -- intuitions which then spill over into new environments. The results, …
