Title: Fake News on Social Media: Exploring Age Effects

Talk Description: Today, most Americans get their news, at least in part, via social media. Unfortunately, the way news stories are propagated and shared on such sites can amplify fake news stories. Though the factors underlying who falls prey to believing such stories and why is well examined with younger adults, there’s comparatively much less research looking into older adults. In this talk, I’ll detail two studies (and introduce an ongoing third) that looks at the factors that predict when older adults endorse fake news stories and how those effects differ from the more commonly studied younger adult population.

Bio: Daniel Peterson is a cognitive psychologist specializing in human memory. He completed both his undergraduate and graduate work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he examined the theoretical underpinnings of memory retrieval. Today, he is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Skidmore College where he looks at more applied memory questions including effective study strategies and eyewitness memory.
