More Information
The Wason Selection Task is a logical puzzle that helps identify how people handle conditional reasoning statements. It's an experiment to test logic against intuition.
Tips
People often choose cards that could confirm the rule, neglecting those that could potentially disprove it. Ensure to consider possibilities that could violate the rule.
