个人如何发现不一致之处？根据本文描述的理论，他们寻找一种心理模型所代表的可能性，其中描述中的每个命题都是正确的。如果他们发现了这种可能性，则描述是一致的；否则，就是不一致的。证据证实了这一理论。当从描述开始生成的第一个可能性适合描述中的后续命题时，一致性评估很容易；当这种可能性不适合以后的命题时，事情就会变得更加困难，并且个人必须寻找替代的可能性。该理论假设模型代表的是真实的东西，而不是虚假的东西。结果，个人屈服于一致性和不一致的系统性幻想。
How do individuals detect inconsistencies? According to the theory described in this article, they search for a possibility represented in a mental model, in which each proposition in a description is true. If they find such a possibility, the description is consistent; otherwise, it is inconsistent. Evidence corroborates the theory. The evaluation of consistency is easy when the first possibility generated from the start of a description fits later propositions in the description; it is harder when this possibility does not fit later propositions, and individuals have to look for an alternative possibility. The theory postulates that models represent what is true, not what is false. As a result, individuals succumb to systematic illusions of consistency and of inconsistency.
