Description¶
The two-phase paradigm separates the JOS phase, where participants make intuitive solvability judgments for an entire set of problems, from a subsequent solving phase where solving outcomes and effort regulation are measured. This design avoids the confound of interleaved paradigms, in which "JOSs may be influenced by solving attempts, and vice versa", allowing reasoners to bootstrap their JOS intuitions. The article uses this paradigm across three experiments with anagram durations parametrically manipulated across blocks.

- Two-phase JOS paradigm separating intuitive solvability judgments from later solving outcomes: The two-phase paradigm separates the JOS phase, where participants make intuitive solvability judgments for an entire set of problems, from a subsequent solving phase where solving outcomes and effort regulation are measured.

Claims¶
- Solvable judgments of solvability discriminate solvable from unsolvable anagrams even after excluding already-solved judgments [+M]
- S JOSs were discriminating but not predictive of later solving success in Experiments 1 and 2 [+M]
- AS and NS JOSs reliably predicted later solving outcomes, with AS JOSs predicting success and NS JOSs predicting failure [+M]
- In a self-regulated solving phase, S JOSs predicted solving success and AS and NS JOSs predicted effort regulation [+M]
