In a set of studies testing this effect, researchers Justin Kruger and D
10、avid Dunning asked participants to complete tests of their skills in a particular domain(领域). Then, participants were asked to guess how well they had done on the test. They found that participants tended to overestimate their abilities, and this effect was most pronounced among participants with th
11、e lowest scores on the test. For example, in one study, participants were given a set of practice LSAT problems to complete. Participants who actually scored in the bottom 25 % guessed that their score put them in the 62nd percentile of participants.David Dunning explains that “the knowledge and int
12、elligence that are required to be good at a task are often the same qualities needed to recognize that one is not good at that task.” In other words, if someone knows very little about a particular topic, they may not even know enough about the topic to realize that their knowledge is limited.Import
13、antly, someone may be highly skilled in one area, but be influenced by the Dunning-Kruger effect in another domain. Dunning explains in an article of Pacific Standard that “it may be very tempting to think this doesnt apply to you. But the problem of unrecognized ignorance is one that visits us all.
14、”What can people do to overcome the Dunning-Kruger effect? In one of their famous studies, Dunning and Kruger had some of the participants take a logic test and then complete a short training on logical reasoning. After the training, the participants were asked to assess how theyd done on the previo
15、us test. The researchers found that the training made a difference: afterwards, the participants who scored in the bottom 25% lowered their estimate of how well they thought they had done on the test.24. What scores did the participants in the bottom 25 % estimate about themselves?A. Higher scores.
