Answer to Question 1

Answer: c

Answer to Question 2

Answer: In a typical Wason selection task, a participant would be given four cards. The cards might display an A, D, 4, and 7. A rule is given as well. The rule may be that If a card has a vowel on one side, then it has an even number of the other side. The purpose of the task is to examine how the rule is validated. In general, participants tend to confirm the rule by turning over the A and 4 cards. The 7 card, however, allows participants to examine the negative of the if-then statement making it a better card than the 4 for testing the rule.
