In Wason's study, not even 10% of subjects found the correct solution, which for the specific criteria of this problem, would be 8 card and the red card. [6] This result was replicated in 1993.

An important bias is the matching bias, which is often illustrated using the Wason selection task. [5] [3] [41] [42] In an often-cited experiment by Peter Wason, 4 cards are presented to the participant. In one case, the visible sides show the symbols D, K, 3, and 7 on the different cards.

The subtlety of implication is much of the point of the Wason selection task. I propose changing the caption to the following: "The subject must choose which of these cards must be turned over to test that if a card shows an even number on one face, then its opposite face shows a primary colour." --Metaxis 05:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
