Two shapes - a cire le and a square - are used to study the effects of form symbolism in cognitive tasks. The first experiment examines the degree of consensus between subjects matching a list of pairs of words with the pair of shapes. The second experiment examines the correlation between the degree of consensus and the reaction times required in the matching task. The third experiment examines the effect of the consensus on performance on a recall task. The findings indicate there is significant consensus between subjects in tasks assessing form symbolism, the amount of consensus predicts reaction time on the matching task and the amount of consensus also predicts performance on the memory task.

Ophavsret er tidsskriftets og forfatternes. Det er gældende praksis, at artikler publiceret i Psyke & Logos, som efterfølgende oversættes til andet sprog, af forfatteren frit kan publiceres i internationale tidsskrifter, dog således at det ved reference fremgår, at den oversatte artikel har et forlæg i en dansksproget version i Psyke & Logos. Artikler kan frit deles og linkes til på forsknings- og undervisningsnetværk (så som Blackboard). Link foretrækkes, fordi det giver oplysning om brug af tidsskriftets artikler.
