Explanation:

Misinformation effect: In psychology, the term misinformation effect refers to the propensity of an individual's post-event information to hinder the original event's memory. It can often lean a person to develop inaccurate memories as well as false memories. In the misinformation effect, an individual's episodic memory is being affected while recalling post-event information.
