Does anyone know any more about the underlying 'facts' of this supposed study. After all, it does work! I'd like to bring it up in the chapter on language in both intro and cognition that we are just getting to as I am sure other students have seen it. One student asked me if it represents a type of Gestalt principle of organization. I'm not sure to the extent that this goes a bit beyond perception. Any better info among tipsters? ========================= I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg.
