That is, I try to understand how the mind works by writing computer simulations of our memory and decision-making processes. Recently, I have become interested in how people update their memories if things they believe turn out to be false. This has led me to examine the persistence of misinformation in society, and how myths and misinformation can spread. I have become particularly interested in the variables that determine whether or not people accept scientific evidence, for example surrounding vaccinations or climate science.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Resisting the Knowledge Dementors: The Truth about \u0026#39;Post-Truth\u0026#39;\u0026quot; is the topic for Professor Stephan Lewandowsky\u0026#39;s Spring Colloquium talk, sponsored by the School of Psychology.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The School of Psychology continues its Spring Colloquium series with the University of Bristol\u0027s Stephan Lewandowsky."}],"uid":"34434","created_gmt":"2021-01-20 18:41:44","changed_gmt":"2021-01-21 17:28:12","author":"Renay San Miguel","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2021-02-04T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2021-02-04T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2021-02-04T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2021-02-04 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2021-02-04 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2021-02-04 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"643171":{"id":"643171","type":"image","title":"Stephan Lewandowsky ","body":null,"created":"1611168641","gmt_created":"2021-01-20 18:50:41","changed":"1611168641","gmt_changed":"2021-01-20 18:50:41","alt":"","file":{"fid":"244218","name":"Stephan Lewandowsky.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Stephan%20Lewandowsky.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Stephan%20Lewandowsky.png","mime":"image\/png","size":71058,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Stephan%20Lewandowsky.png?itok=MNQFoX32"}}},"media_ids":["643171"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.bristol.ac.uk\/people\/person\/Stephan-Lewandowsky-ebfa6836-6895-4acf-b57b-b2acdf30ec99\/","title":"Stephan Lewandowsky, Univ. of Bristol"}],"groups":[{"id":"443951","name":"School of Psychology"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"4896","name":"College of Sciences"},{"id":"167710","name":"School of Psychology"},{"id":"186760","name":"2021 Spring Colloquium Series"},{"id":"186764","name":"Stephan Lewandowsky"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EEmily C.
