The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The heuristic-analytic theory of reasoning: Extension and evaluation (2006, background): “Interestingly, Poletiek (2001) has recently shown that an attitude of verification or falsification makes no essential difference to how people should test hypotheses: From either perspective, the best test is the one that is most diagnostic.”
Intuition and Reasoning: A Dual-Process Perspective (2010, background): “Participants get very frustrated and often go on generating similar triples offering alternative verbal formulations of the same rule (Wason, 1968; see also Evans, 2007; Poletiek, 2001, for recent reviews and discussion of work with this task).”
The primacy of morality in impression development: Theory, research, and future directions (2021, background): “According to this revised view, distortions in hypothesis testing are the result of a complex interaction between hypothesis generation, the ensuing testing strategies, and information processing (Klayman, 1995; McKenzie, 2004; Nickerson, 1998; Poletiek, 2001; Slowiaczek et al., 1992).”
