Faculty Face Time with Professor Lisa Fazio

Want to learn more about the psychology behind “fake news”? Join us this Friday and hear from an expert in the subject. Professor Fazio is a cognitive psychologist who studies how people learn new information, both true and false, and how to correct errors in people’s knowledge. This focus includes how to mitigate the effects of reading false information and how to increase classroom learning. Her research informs basic theories about learning and memory, while also having clear applications for practitioners such as journalists and teachers.
