War of The Ghosts

Psychology

This psychology blog post arose from a query posted on the psychology questions section of the website, namely:

I have been searching the Internet trying to find a copy of a tale used in an experiment on memory. I thought it was used by Watson or James (not really sure). Anyway, it had something to do with warriors and canoes.

The experiment in question was by British psychologist Sir Frederic Bartlett who used a Native American folk tale "The War of The Ghosts" to test the notion of 'schema', namely the cultural and historical contextualisation of memory.

I'd forgotten (no pun intended) just how interesting and important this research was; and in the process of revisiting it, I came across an excellent radio broadcast on the subject which you can listen to in full by Clicking Here

The following video was created by the Open University and is designed to test your powers of perception. I'd be very interested to find out how you did and what you thought of the test. If you do the test, make sure you've got the sound on your computer turned on.

Having added a psychology movies page to the website, it seemed a logical step to also examine psychology fiction within books and literature.

The psychology fiction page highlights the work of authors who are recognized for writing responsibly when presenting portrayals of psychology to the general public. The psychology fiction page also takes a look at some of the most popular fictional psychologists out there.

Visit the psychology fiction page.
