Fact vs. Affect in the Telephone Game: All Levels of Surprise Are Retold With High Accuracy, Even Independently of Facts

#information

Two sides to a story? Using a ‘telephone game’ experiment @FritzBreithaupt et al show that, even if the *facts* get distorted or lost in the retelling, the elements of *surprise* remain → affective dimension to retelling stability: https://t.co/B0xbCAm7NI

My sense of things = #Trump's campaign staff is more aware of this fact than #Biden's, so when surprising (negative) facts are learned re #KamalaHarris' voting record, voters will recall it v. accurately, even as many Dems deny it's true. @FritzBreithaupt
