KReC is a framework about the procedure of how knowledge correction occurs. 

KReC sees the process as an incremental, bottom-up process, with both pieces of information (the revision and the misinformation) being present in the individual’s working memory and in the end the revision being encoded and misinformation being discarded.

Even with attempts of correction, falseful information can still have continued influence on people’s impression of certain subjects.

The Effects of Message Order and Debiasing Information in Misinformation Correction

Continued Influence and Misinformation


The order in which information is presented can have an impact on an individual's way of analyzing and categorizing information. 


Information Order and Categorization


When young children are exposed to a series of information, their judgment of morality is influenced by the order in which the information is presented. 



Moral Judgment and Information Order in Children


Information in inductive category learning can be organized in different sequences that might be based on information variability, relations, and level of difficulty. 



Organization and Sequence of Information in Inductive Category Learning


How different a category (and a sample) is from another can be an important factor affecting the learning outcome of inductive category learning, and the influence may vary depending on the sequences being used and compared.


Category Structure


A debiasing message is a piece of information that neutralizes two conflicting accounts of the same event. It can enhance the correction of misinformation. 


Debiasing Message and Misinformation Correction


After a piece of misinformation is corrected, when an individual is asked to recall the correction, there is a positive correlation between recall accuracy and change in attitude regarding the topic.
