The Role of Prediction in Predicting Academic Performance
Study compared judgments made when evaluating evidence and predicting ultimate outcome. Participants treated two sets of questions as if they were the same.

This process is guaranteed to generate predictions that are systematically biased. They completely ignore regression to the mean.
