Experiment 1 of "Correcting the unknown: Negated corrections may increase belief in misinformation" Study

Individuals were given a single passage about a burglary.
Individuals were either exposed to the target concept (they saw an "unfamiliar blue car") or not exposed ("neighbor was a blue-collar worker"), which was then followed by a replacement ("car was red"), negated correction ("car was not blue"), or no correction ("car was a neighbor's").
After they were finished reading the passage, individuals responded to a series of questions, which included a summary question, three yes/no comprehension questions, and three open-ended questions; these open-ended questions gave individuals the opportunity to address the target concept.
