> Also important to note is that the Wason selection task has a fairly poor success rate with actual humans: the original study was 36 students of statistics at the University College London, of which less than 10% got the correct answer - if you asked the general population on the street I would be shocked if you got over 3% correct.
Just so I know if I'm part of that 10%, you'd have to turn all cards that show a multiple of 4 to check, right...?
- Smaug123 3y agoYour answer is incomplete, assuming the usual Wason selection problem where the phrasing is "if a card has a number divisible by 4 [which could be face down]…" rather than "if a card is showing [face up] a number divisible by 4". If I were trying to hide a bad card (i.e. a card that didn't satisfy the requirements) in there, and you were following that stratey, I could successfully hide a bad card from you.
