As I recall, experiments show that people who learn about anchoring are still susceptible to anchoring, but people who learn about the sunk cost fallacy are less likely to throw good money after bad.
Supportive anecdote: Since I started reading here, I've started to consciously see and avoid the sunk costs fallacy.
(as opposed to several other biases that I now see and recognize, but still don't avoid, apparently because I am an idiot.)
