Machine learning techniques and older adults processing of online information and misinformation: A covid 19 study

作者:

Highlights:

• Machine learning techniques classified COVID-19 information and misinformation.

• Older adults were interviewed to understand their information processing behaviour.

• Older adults were more inclined to trust traditional media rather than new media.

• Humans failed to classify COVID-19 information and misinformation algorithmically.

• Corrective messages with attractive presentation are not always seen as convincing.
