Abstract
Participants predicted personal and peer anagram solving abilities after either solving an anagram or being prompted with an anagram’s answers. Then, participants in the latter group solved an anagram as the former group had. We hypothesized there would be a greater mean difference in prediction of performance and actual performance among participants who made predictions after being provided anagram answers than after solving an anagram. Additionally, we hypothesized that participants would overestimate personal and peer abilities.
