My thesis project, Fake news and cognitive bias: impact of the reasoning strategy, aims to examine the ways in which cognition unfolds in the context of fake news processing. I am interested in the formation and maintenance of beliefs, and the influence that different factors such as rebuttal, warning or education can have on them. I am interested in human reasoning and the biases that can hinder it, particularly in the context of misinformation.
