Abstract

This study will examine neurocognitive mechanisms underlying credibility judgments of conspiracy messaging. Specifically, their relation to neural cognitive control processing (transdiagnostic with impulsivity and mental health factors) and individual differences in credibility factors (e.g., gullibility). Thus, participants will complete message credibility and Go/No-Go tasks during electroencephalography recordings of brain activity.
