identificación a ciegas
Explanation:
Matching has many translations but in this context the closest word I found is identificación. Words like apareamiento, which is a precise translation for this takes the reader to its most common interpretation as the sexual intercourse. Words such as adivinación, deducción and presentimiento that get closer to the described fact carry a heavy sense of witchery.

Este naipe está formado por cinco motivos diferentes: círculo, estrella, cuadrado, cruz y doble línea; cada motivo se repite cinco veces, lo que hace un total de veinticinco cartas:

En lo esencial, el experimento consistía en que una persona adivinara el motivo de la carta oculta. Siendo veinticinco las cartas, el sujeto tenía todas las probabilidades de adivinar cinco; por esto el resultado se hacía interesante cuando se adivinaba un número mayor.

En 1.934 Rhine publicó los primeros resultados que había obtenido con los estudiantes de la Universidad
