Reference no: EM133351148

Question: Over several decades, there have been many variations of Wason's selection task which have all been used to examine human reasoning. Wason (1968) argued that people are irrational thinkers while others have examined how the content (Griggs & Cox, 1982) and social context (Cosmides, 1989) impact reasoning. In your own words and as concisely as possible (two to three sentences), pick a stance on human reasoning and provide evidence to defend your stance.
