Project funding byVienna University of Economics and Business Planned start date: summer 2016

Current projects: comprehension of declarative process models

 Rule: “If A occurs in the process instance, then B occurs as well.”

A B

Experimental Group 1 Experimental Group 2 Experimental Group 3 [no visual model]

A did not occur B did not occur A did occur B did occur

 The cards below represent four process instances. On one side of each

card is written whether or not A did occur, on the other side whether or not B did occur.

 Your task: Please indicate all the cards that you have to turn over (i.e., all of

which you need to know the information on the back) in order to find out whether the rule was violated.
