About This Course

This short interactive course walks through the Wason Selection Test and a practical method for testing “if–then” claims in both abstract and real-world settings. You’ll learn a step-by-step approach to identify which cases must be checked to falsify a rule, and then translate those ideas into symbolic logic (variables, negation, and compound connectives). The course covers contrapositives, De Morgan’s laws, the correct negation of implications, and how to produce counterexamples to disprove rules.

What You'll Learn

  • Identify which cards or cases must be checked to test an if–then claim in the Wason selection task
  • Explain how to disprove an implication by producing a counterexample where the antecedent is true and the consequent is false
  • Translate simple statements into symbolic form using variables and logical connectives
