Dissociations Between Objective and Subjective Fluency

Another interesting question is whether subjective fluency (the feeling of processing
ease) can become dissociated from objective fluency (actual processing speed).
Anecdotal reports seem to suggest so. For example, under the influence of alcohol, the
feeling of fluency may greatly exceed objective processing speed. However, this example
also suggests that a dissociation between objective speed and subjective ease may be an
exceptional state, at least for most individuals
