The study of Reber et al. (2006):Reber et al. (2006): © POSbase 2008Contributor People often misjudge their own performance (Kruger, 1999). There are different explanations for this effect. Reber et al. tested whether processing fluency – the ease of processing an action or event – influences judgments of past performance.processing fluency judgments Processing Fluency and Judgments of Performance

© POSbase 2008 In order to test this, the authors used comparative performance judgments after an action: Participants were asked how well they did in comparison to their fellow students. They had to put a mark on an unnumbered scale which was 100 mm long. Therefore, one could directly measure the percentile of one‘s own judged performance and translate it into „I was better than __% of the student population.“ Processing Fluency and Judgments of Performance

© POSbase 2008 In one of the experiments, participants who did not much sports had to run in place for either 15 seconds or 2 minutes and then to tell how well they did in comparison to their fellow students. Those running 15 seconds estimated that they were better than 63% of the other students, whereas those running 2 minutes thought that they were better than 48% of the student population. The easier it was to perform the running-in-place task, the better they thought they were. Processing Fluency and Judgments of Performance

© POSbase 2008 In another experiment, participants got a recognition test for a word list they saw earlier (incidental learning task). For one group, 2/3 of the items were old words and 1/3 new words, which yields more fluent processing of the item list than for the other group, where 1/3 of the items were old words and 2/3 new words. recognition Processing Fluency and Judgments of Performance

© POSbase 2008 Although recognition performance was not different, participants with 2/3 old words estimated that they were better than 67% of the other students, whereas those having only 1/3 old words thought that they were better than 59% of the student population. The easier it was to perform the recognition task, the better the participants thought they were, supporting the notion that processing fluency influences comparative performance judgments.
