    The document outlines a behavioral experiment to test the prediction that speaking in public would cause so much shaking that others would notice and laugh. The experiment involved speaking up at a meeting without safety behaviors and asking friends for feedback. While feeling nervous, the friends reported not seeing any visible shaking. This challenged the original belief, leading to a reduced rating of how likely others would notice shaking from 90% to 50%.

    How would you know your prediction had come true?

    Speak up at the next meeting on Monday - I could present some of the data that I have
    been meaning to show.
    Would need to gesture with my hands, and not hold on to the table
    I could ask my friends if they noticed me shaking when I talk
    Outcome

    What happened?
    Was your prediction accurate?

    I was really nervous and was very aware of my hands


    My friends said I spoke well and that they could not see me shake

    Learning

    What did you learn?


    How likely is it that your predictions will happen in the future?

    Although I feel nervous when speaking its not as obvious


    to other people
