Answer:This is an example of misinformation effect.

Explanation:

The misinformation effect is a term that describes how we tend to let information that happens after an incident or event affect the memory of what we really experienced when the incident actually happened. Researchers have discovered that even an introduction of information that may not be obvious or notiaciable after an event will impact how we recall things about the event.
