| Résumé : | Recent years saw a drastic surge in conspiracy theories, ranging from climate-change denial to suspicion about the real motives behind COVID-19 control measures. A better understanding of the cognitive roots of these unfounded and rigid beliefs is of crucial importance. We need to learn from this pandemic, overcome the population's rejection of science and support critical thinking at a societal level. Notably, conspiracy theories have been proposed not only as false beliefs, but also as a way of making sense of events occurring in a context of great social uncertainty. Interestingly, previous work underscored that perceiving some irrelevant elements of our environment as abnormally important, a phenomenon called aberrant salience attribution, was associated with the endorsement of rigid beliefs, such as delusional ideations, or the acceptance of scientifically doubtful facts. Surprisingly, despite some similarities in the unshakable nature of these belief categories, the presence of aberrant salience among people embracing conspiracy theories has never been properly explored.
