It is argued that the recent criticism by Fodor (Cognition 75 (2000) 29) of "cheater detection" in the Wason selection task is based upon a false presumption about what the task entails.
The task entails an extensive search process using electronic library sources and World Wide Web-based searches to identify data sources, including general sources such as censuses, labour force surveys and other reporting systems as mentioned above, with special attention to availability of statistics on health occupations and labour market characteristics.
Once it was clear that the participant understood what the task entailed, the experimental session was initiated.
The task entailed predicting some phosphoprotein and cytokine measurements that were withheld from the participants.
The task entailed viewing and reporting subjective liking for images from four categories: high-calorie foods (e.g., chocolate), low-calorie foods (e.g., broccoli), rewarding nonfood items (e.g., watches, jewelry) and less rewarding nonfood items (e.g., staplers).
The task entailed manipulating tokens of different shapes, sizes, and colors: 20 tokens of five different colors (blue, red, green, white, and black), two formats (squares and circles), and two sizes (small and large).
dAs Drichoutis and Lusk (Drichoutis and Lusk 2012) note, since this task entails choices made over only four dollar amounts, the task reveals little information about the curvature of the utility function.
It is important to note that this type of coordinated attention is a hallmark of a certain type of visual search task and that loading WM interferes when the search task entails this kind of coordinated performance (Woodman et al., 2008).
Even though our observed correlation is specific to the orientation cuing effect, our task entails the coordination of spatial and feature-based attention.
The sequence classification task entails assigning a sequence to one or more of a set of categories.
Our next task entails estimating the divergence times at internal nodes of each of the strain-tree topology candidates that we computed so as to optimize the weighted sum criterion, as described above.
