Abstract

Adults read a prose passage and responded to questions based on it which were either true or false and were phrased either affirmatively or negatively. True negatives yielded most errors, followed in order by false negatives, true affirmatives, and false affirmatives. The discrepancy from the ordering Wason (1961) found for binary propositions and the implications for construction of true-false examinations are discussed.
