Lisa K. Fazio

Lisa K. Fazio is a researcher in the Department of Psychology and Human Development at Vanderbilt University whose work examines the cognitive and social factors underlying misinformation belief, truth judgments, and learning errors. Fazio's research integrates topics spanning cognitive psychology, educational psychology, and applied social science, with particular attention to how repetition affects belief in false claims, the role of retrieval practice in learning, and strategies for countering misinformation across age groups and contexts. Fazio has published extensively on intellectual humility, memory distortions, and the psychological mechanisms that make individuals susceptible to and resistant against false information, contributing both theoretical insights and practical interventions for reducing misinformation acceptance in naturalistic settings.
