Relational Reasoning and Its Manifestations in the Educational Context: a Systematic Review of the Literature (2013, background): “…literature on anomaly contains a subset of studies specifically concerned with manipulating the context in which an anomaly is presented, in an effort to negate its status as an anomaly, and turn it into something expected and quotidian (e.g., Ferguson and Sanford 2008; Filik and Leuthold 2008).”

(2008).”
Thinking About the Opposite of What Is Said: Counterfactual Conditionals and Symbolic or Alternate Simulations of Negation (2018, background): “…the presupposed facts, and hence eye-tracking studies show an initial brief disruption in the immediate comprehension of a counterfactual (e.g., Ferguson & Sanford, 2008). fMRI studies also show that counterfactuals activate areas of the medial prefrontal cortex related to conflict detection…”

Eye-movements and ERPs reveal the time course of processing negation and remitting counterfactual worlds. (2008, unknown): “In contrast, counterfactual (affirmative) contexts (as in Ferguson & Sanford, 2008) could focus readers’ attention onto the explicitly stated alternative world of cats being vegetarians and therefore focus attention onto the consequences of such a world.”
