Question

____ is phrasing things in such a way that it leads your recall in a certain direction

Answer

Misleading information is phrasing things in such a way that it leads your recall in a certain direction
Ex: Participants watched a traffic safety video in which they observed a car crash, and then then participants were asked questions on what happened and the key question was “how fast cars were the cars going when they hit each other” “Some people got the question with the word “hit” and some got “smash”. Those participants who received the question with the word “smashed”, they were more likely to say there was glass on the ground in the video (even though there was not any glass on the ground)
