Conditional reasoning with narrative contexts: the role of semantic and pragmatic factors
(1997)The main objective of this experiment is to determine in what way the subjects´s knowledge of the real world modulates their performance in a conditional reasoning task with narrative contexts, in line with previous ... -
Conditional Reasoning: Scenario or Context Effects?
(1992-09)This paper studies the importance of contextual factors in reasoning with conditional inference tasks. In this experiment subjects were given conditional sentences in the context of narrative texts. Short stories about ... -
Conditional Reasoning: The importance of individual differences
(2014-06-19)In this study, we explore the relation between different measures in psychometric ability tests (verbal comprehension and reasoning) and performance in Wason's selection task (Wason, 1966, 1968). We also examined whether ... -

Importancia de factores pragmáticos en inferencia condicional: un estudio cronométrico
(Universidade de Santiago de Compostela. Servizo de Publicacións e Intercambio Científico, 1998)Con las I Jornadas de Psicología del Pensamiento se pretendió llevar a cabo una reunión científica que sirviese de punto de encuentro a profesores e investigadores, de las distintas Universidades españolas, que trabajan ... -
Individual differences in deductive reasoning: Formal and Thematic Wason's THOG problems
(2003)This study forms part of a wider research project aimed at investigating relationships between cognitive skills and performance on experimental reasoning tasks (Stanovich, 1999; Stanovich & West, 1998). The study aims to ... -

La tarea de selección de Wason: pasado y presente

Pragmatic factors in conditional reasoning
(1996)We investigated the importance of pragmatic factors in conditional reasoning. The performance of 54 subjects was examined, with the four basic inferences of Modus Ponens (MP), Denial of the Antecedent (DA), Affirmation of ... -
Pragmatic factors in conditional reasoning with narrative texts
(1997)In this study the role of pragmatic knowledge in conditional reasoning was investigated (Cheng & Holyoak, 1985; Holyoak & Cheng, 1995). We tried to precisely determine the importance of the variable which we refer to as ... -

Reasoning with heuristics: theoretical explanations and beyond
(2022)Human reasoners often tend to use simple and rapid strategies, heuristics, to make inferences. These are adaptative mechanisms of a non-logical nature. In some occasions they are very useful but in other cases they lead ... -
Reasoning with thematic selection task
(2017)Peter Wason (1966, 1968) designed one of the experimental tasks most used by the cognitive psychologists to study how subjects reason: the selection task. The main objective of this work is to present some of the experimental ... -
The role of content and context in pragmatic reasoning
(1992)The purpose of this paper is to study pragmatic reasoning in conditional inference tasks. Two experiments were performed in which the subjects ought to choose among alternative responses, rating their confidence in their ... -
The role of scenario, deontic conditionals and problem content in Wason´s selection task
(2014-11-03)This experiment explores the influence of thematic content, the presence or absence of a scenario and the use of deontic or indicative framing of conditional rules on performance on Wason’s selection task. Logical ... -
The Wason Selection Task: Reasoning, Decision Making or Both?
(2017-09)The aim of this study is to present some of the more recent lines of experimental research into Wason's selection task (Wason, 1966, 1968) and the main debates which have arisen from this. The paper concerns an experimental ... -
Thinking about Wason´s THOG problem
(2019-09)Being able to create new information from already existing information is the essence of human reasoning. Modern Psychology of Reasoning is driven to know what kinds of strategies subjects use to make inferences and the ... -

Wason´s selection task: Content effect, instruction effect or both?
