| Authors | Rule-Example | Result-Explanation |
| | “Everytime I go to Manchester I travel by car”. | Facilitation of thematic content. |
| | “If a letter is sealed, then it has a 50 lira stamp on it”. | Facilitation of thematic content. |
| | “If I eat haddock, then I drink gin”. | No thematic facilitation in arbitrary relationship. |
| | “If a person is drinking beer, then the person must be over 19 years of age”. | Facilitation by content-experience relationship. |
| | “If the form says ENTERING on one side, then the other side includes CHOLERA among the list of diseases”. | Facilitation by activation of permission rules. |
| | “If a man eats cassava root, then he has a tattoo on his face”. | Facilitation by reformulation of the rule as cost-benefit and application of cheater-detector algorithm. |
| | “If a person is driving a car, then he must be over 18 years old”. | Execution by double syntactic-semantic processing. |
| | “If you tidy up your room, then you may go out to play”. | Selection of cards which breaks the rule. Child: “p and not-q”. Mother: “not-p and q”. |
| | “If an employee works on the weekend, then that person gets a day off during the week”. | Perspective effect and cheater-detector algorithm modulate the selection (employee: “p and not-q”; employer: “not-p and q”). |
| | “If a car owner installs a new catalytic converter, then that person gets a subsidy”. | Pragmatic Schemas Theory explains the role of content and context. Rights and duties: complementary terms. |
| | “If a Wasit card has A on one side, then it must have a 3 on the other side”. “If a person is sitting in the front seat of a car, then that person must be over 12 years of age”. | Better performance in thematic version. Facilitation of violation instructions. Individual differences |
| | “If there are Xow, then there must be a force field”. | The context: key if it suggests the activation of counterexamples. |
| | “If a person is riding a motorcycle then he must wear a helmet”. | Interactive effect instructions and content. Superior logical indexes in deontic versions. |
| | “If ‘Baltimore’ is on one side of the ticket then ‘plane’ is on the other side of the ticket”. | Better performance in deontic version. Individual differences. |
| | “If a card has a bricklayer written on one side, then it must have/has hard hat written on the other side”. | Effect of scenario in deontic problems. Better performance in permission or obligation rules. |
| | “If a Hare Mantra child is at least 8 years old, then that child performs well the 8-years intelligence test”. | Perspective effect does not require deontic context. Execution according to activation of counterexamples. |
| | “If a person is more than 18 years old, then he has the right to vote”. | Facilitation of violation instructions. Better performance in thematic-obligation task. Individual differences. |
| | “If an employee gets a day off during the week, then that employee must have worked on the weekend”. | Looks for rule-history coherence. |
| | “If a person travels to any East African country, then that person must be immunized against cholera”. | The context expressed in the text modulates the relevancy to make inferences. |
