Hypercorrection (psychology)
BETTER MEMORY AFTER AN EMBARRASSING ERROR
User:Jh470/Hypercorrection (Psychology); Draft:Hypercorrection (psychology)
Hypercorrection is the higher likelihood of correcting a general knowledge error when originally certain that the information they understand is accurate as opposed to unsure of the information. The phenomenon suggests that once a general knowledge information is confidently misremembered by someone and the person learns the right version after their initial response is corrected, their likelihood of remembering this piece of information will be higher than someone who was unsure of their initial answer.
