DESCRIPTION:I will sketch out the analogy between the Wason Task(s) and the
  Paradox of Confirmation.  This will mainly involve going through some exis
 ting historical discussions concerning the analogy\, and developing a preci
 se framework for refining and critiquing the analogy.  I will explain what 
 I think is right about the existing literature\, and also what I think is w
 rong with it (i.e.\, what I think the disanalogies are).  Along the way\, I
  will make various historical observations about confirmation theory and so
 me of the contemporary evaluative assessments of the behavior of subjects f
 aced with Wason Task(s).
