Cover Story: This study explored verbal deductive reasoning in developmental dyslexia using the Wason selection task. Researchers manipulated reasoning rules, including conditional rules with varying logical values. They also adjusted word frequency and imageability. There was no difference in reasoning accuracy or completion time between adults with and without dyslexia. Participants performed best with the rule type “If p, then not q” and least accurately with “If p then q”. Additionally, highly imageable word terms led to better performance. These findings align with existing reasoning literature and emphasize the role of imageability in reasoning, regardless of dyslexia status. Implications for educational materials design are discussed. View this paper
