Active learning experiences strengthen resistance more than passive reading does

Evidence

My hypothesis is that active inoculation is often more effective because it is better suited to how people generally learn about and experience the world. … We like to use our senses to discover how something works. We learn by doing. This is important insofar as experiential learning helps us store and retrieve information from memory. — Sander van der Linden, Foolproof, 972
