Hi Erin,
I came across the article when I was doing intensive research into the
psychology and physiology of perception many years ago. The article was
from The Journal of Personality, vol 18, 1949(!!!)pp 206-223 by Jerome S.
Bruner and Leo Postman, a Harvard University study, "On the Perception of
Incongruity: A Paradigm." If you can not get a copy of it but have a fax
machine I can fax you my copy.
