Culturally antagonistic memes and the Zika virus: an experimental test (2017, unknown): “This result is more in accord with the view that sees memes as a switch that substitutes identity-protection for truthseeking as the object of rational information processing (Toplak and Stanovich 2003; Stanovich and West 2008; Macpherson and Stanovich 2007).”
Heuristics and Biases as Measures of Critical Thinking: Associations with Cognitive Ability and Thinking Dispositions (2008, unknown): “…toward biased reasoning in the experiment evaluation paradigms (as well as related paradigms) shows considerable dissociation from cognitive ability (Kardash & Scholes, 1996; Klac-zynski & Gordon, 1996; Klaczynski & Lavallee, 2005; Klaczynski & Robinson, 2000; Macpherson & Stanovich, 2007).”
