Is one referring to research such as that by Sweeney & Gruber (1984), the "sleeper effect", or something else?" I assumed the reference was to the belief perseverance effect. According to a recent abstract, "Belief perseverance--the tendency to make use of invalidated information--is one of social psychology's most reliable phenomena". Guenther, C. L., & Alicke, M. D.
