Resumo: A problem related to theWason selection task is that only some thematic versions of it are executed correctly. Fodor raises the thesis that the versions that are adequately solved are those that refer to deontic situations. In his opinion, there is a deontic logic that is different to classical logic and that allows reasoning appropriately in deontic contexts. In this paper, I review Fodor’s arguments, question his assumptions, and propose an alternative explanation, based on the mental models theory, of why only some versions of the selection task with thematic content offer optimal results.

Fodor propõe a tese de que as versões resolvidas adequadamente são aquelas que tratam de situações deônticas. Na opinião dele, há uma lógica deôntica que é diferente da lógica clássica e que permite raciocínio apropriado em contextos deônticos. Neste artigo, revisarei os argumentos de Fodor, questionarei suas hipóteses e proponho uma explicação alternativa, baseada na teoria de modelos mentais, para explicar a razão de que apenas algumas versões da tarefa de seleção com conteúdo temático oferecem resultados ótimos. Federal University of Santa Catarina – UFSC2014-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/principia/article/view/1808-1711.2014v18n3p43910.5007/1808-1711.2014v18n3p439Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 18 No. 3 (2014); 439-447Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 18 Núm. 3 (2014); 439-447Principia: an international journal of epistemology; v. 18 n. 3 (2014); 439-4471808-17111414-4247reponame:Principia (Florianópolis.
