Atmosphere Pattern
Atmosphere pattern is a tendency to endorse a conclusion in a logic problem if that conclusion is consistent with the 'atmosphere' of the premises.
Thus, two premises containing the word 'not' make it more likely that participants will endorse a conclusion containing the word 'not'.
Premises containing 'all' make it more likely that they will endorse a conclusion containing 'all'.
