🔴 **Conceptual contamination: Investigating the impact of misinformation on conceptual change and inoculation strategies**
"_In the present investigation, we found that text order was an important consideration for how learners build their understanding of the to-be-learned content. While all conditions learned a significant amount, those who saw the misinformation text first, followed by the expository explanation, performed the worst on the posttest measure of learning._"

This is very useful. I'll probably try a bit of extra prebunking of temporal simultaneity in the "summer" semester (Mar-Jun 2025) special relativity lectures, before I get into Minkowski spacetime. I do that anyway in words, but a thought experiment can make it clearer that absolute simultaneity is experimentally false.
