Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The permission schema is a mental shortcut that helps people to solve the "drinking beer" version of the Wason problem more easily. The permission schema involves checking whether a given situation satisfies the condition of a particular rule rather than just trying to verify the rule itself. This approach is more intuitive and easier to understand than simply verifying the rule directly. The other options (conjunction rule, atmosphere effect, availability heuristic) are not relevant to solving the "drinking beer" version of the Wason problem.
