Thanks for the post! I included it in my daily science & technology post for tomorrow (under @remlaps-lite). But I'm confused by this:

There is no evidence that people with a lower IQ are more likely (or less likely) to have fake memories.

I don't have access to the full article, but the abstract says this:

This study suggests that voters in a real-world political campaign are most susceptible to forming false memories for fake news that aligns with their beliefs, in particular if they have low cognitive ability.

Does this mean to suggest that the overall likelihood of false memories is the same, regardless of cognitive ability, but in people with low cognitive abilities the fake memories are more likely to align with pre-existing biases? Which would imply that people with higher cognitive abilities are more likely to have false memories that don't align with their beliefs?
