In other words, we find that people are more likely to misattribute facts (to incorrect sources) than they are to misattribute opinions… so next time you’re scratching your head, struggling to remember where a claim came from (as I so often am) it may be the claim itself that is to blame 😉

Encoding processes are important. Faced with new information, we encode associative links between sources and claims. As opinions tend to provide more information about a source than facts do, the encoded associative links are stronger, helping us to later recall who it was that said a given claim.
