The disease of the respiratory system better known as the Covid-19 pandemic appeared at the end of 2019 and left long-term psychophysical consequences on people around the world. In Croatia, various studies on the topic of the Corona virus have been conducted so far, but not a single study has examined the connection between induced false memories about Covid-19 and cognitive abilities, analytical thinking, knowledge and interest about Covid-19 in the student population. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the role of the mentioned individual factors in the amount of induced false memories about the Covid-19 pandemic in students. The research was conducted online on a convenient sample of a total of 211 students from various faculties in Osijek. Using the news task about Covid-19, the Vocabulary Test, the Cognitive Reflection Test, the Knowledge Test about Covid-19 and the Questionnaire about the interest in Covid-19, an attempt was made to determine the frequency of induced false memories in students. Also, an attempt was made to examine the connection of cognitive abilities, analytical thinking, knowledge about Covid-19 and interest in Covid-19 with inducing false memories about the Covid-19 pandemic. The results of this research show that even 98% of students from the total sample recognized at least one false memory as true. However, it was not possible to determine the connection between participants' cognitive abilities and knowledge about Covid-19 with the amount of induced false memories in students. Also, it was not possible to determine the role of analytical thinking and interest in Covid-19 in recognizing accurate news and reporting on false memories. This research is just the beginning of learning about the connection between induced false memories about Covid-19 and individual factors on the student population in Croatia, therefore it is necessary to conduct some future research on a larger sample and with instruments that have better metric characteristics in order to get a more accurate representation of the connection between the investigated constructs.
