The Wason Selection Task
Question 3
You've got bored of working for a card games manufacturer, and you're now
working as a security executive in a bar (you're a bouncer). It's your job
to ensure that the rule governing the consumption of alcohol is strictly enforced.
It states:
If a person drinks an alcoholic drink, then they must be over the age of 21 years
old.
The cards below reprsent the drink of choice and age of four customers at your bar.
(Each card represents one person: one side shows what they're drinking - note
the card on the left shows beer, the alcoholic kind! - the other side their
age.) Please indicate which card or cards you definitely need to turn over,
and only that or those cards, in order to determine whether the rule is broken
in the case of each of the four customers. (To indicate that it is necessary to
turn over a card, simply "select" the card by clicking in the little box
beneath it.)
