Hello: I am looking for a video that depicts the playing cards experiment that illustrates the concept of perception of incongruity. The experiment was originally performed by Jerome S. Bruner and Leo Postman in 1949 (article can be found at Christopher D. Green's Classics in the History of Psychology http://www.yorku.ca/dept/psych/classics/Bruner/Cards/). The article describes the experiment as follows: "Twenty-eight subjects, students at Harvard and Radcliffe, were shown successively by tachistoscopic exposure five different playing cards. From one to four of these cards were incongruous -- color and suit were reversed. Order of presentation of normal and incongruous cards was randomized. The normal and "trick" cards used were the following." I am trying to find any video that illustrates this experiment for one of our library patrons. Any video titles that you can suggest will be appreciated. I am not a regular member of this listserv, but I am hoping you may have some suggestions for me. I found your listserv highlighted on Hugh Foley's website of Resources for Teaching Perception http://www.skimore.edu/~hfoley/perception.htm Sincerely, Ellen Justice Medical Librarian Christiana Care Medical Libraries Newark, DE 19718 Phone: (302)733-1179 Fax: (302)733-1365 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
