Abstract
We assessed 309 general psychology students using the new Test of Developmental Knowledge and Misconceptions (TODKAM). The number correct on the TODKAM was positively correlated with the number correct on a test of general psychological knowledge and misconceptions and negatively correlated with endorsement of false and fictitious conspiracy theories.
