The study of debunking using [cognitive science]—psychology, neuroscience, cognitive [anthropology]. This field investigates how debunking messages are processed, why some debunking works and some backfires (the “backfire effect”), how cognitive biases affect both debunkers and their audiences, and how the format and framing of debunking influence its reception. It also studies the cognitive mechanisms behind the debunker’s own certainty and the neural correlates of “debunking [satisfaction].” The cognitive sciences of debunking provide evidence‑based guidance for effective fact‑checking and reveal the limits of rational persuasion.
