Detailed explanation-1: -The misinformation effect is a term used in the cognitive psychological literature to describe both experimental and real-world instances in which misleading information is incorporated into an account of an historical event.

Detailed explanation-2: -The misinformation effect is the tendency for information received after an event to interfere with one’s memory of the original happenings. Research has shown that the introduction of even relatively subtle new information later on can have a dramatic effect on how people remember events they have seen or experienced.

Detailed explanation-3: -An example of misinformation effect could be as simple as an eyewitness being asked: “Did you see the broken light” rather than “Did you see a broken light". The first assumes there was a broken light and that influences the possibility of misinformation effect and the response from the eyewitness.
