The personal fable is the belief held by adolescents that they are unique, special, and invulnerable, which often leads to unrealistic expectations for their future. In this case, Lorie's belief that she will be wealthy and well-known is an example of the personal fable. The imaginary audience refers to the belief that others are constantly watching and judging them. Metacognition refers to the ability to think about one's own thinking. Hypothetico-deductive reasoning is a formal operational cognitive process of systematically testing possible solutions to a problem. None of these concepts apply to Lorie's belief about her future.
