Can images make a debunking argument more effective?
A slideshow reduced initial agreement with a misconception (about rent control) compared to text-only stimuli (n > 1000).
Regardless of imagery, however, higher reflection test performance predicted abandoning the misconception among participants who initially held it.
Did images help people think more reflectively or did the images reduce the need to think more reflectively? 🤷♂️

Some slides from the "refutation video", which can be found in the paper's Appendix.
Section 4.2 and Table 3 showing the difference in belief change by condition and in correlation with cognitive reflection test performance.
Table 4 and subsequent text explaining how "being more analytical does predict the ability to revise the misconception".
