Abstract

This paper proposes a research paradigm for comparing weight estimates to empirically derived "true " weights, thus obtaining a measure of the criterion validity of different weight estimation techniques. The results of this study are discussed from both an applied and theoretical perspective. Theoretically, the findings of this study are strong evidence that people are aware of their own cognitive processes.
