Narratives have been known to aid in the spread of misinformation. This is because they often seem to provide a causal mechanism for unexplained phenomenon. For example, a seemingly neurologically normal child who gets a vaccine then begins to show signs of autism could be used an anecdotal evidence for the misinformation that vaccines cause autism. Narrative information is also more salient during encoding and retrieval, making it easier to remember. Knowing this, narratives could also be adopted as a corrective measure against misinformation.
