Abstract

Examined the scoring relationship between the individual trials and the majority-vote (MV) feedback. Neither the 32-yr-old male S (who had experienced spontaneous psi phenomena) nor the experimenter received feedback for the individual trials comprising the MV, and only the S received feedback for the outcome of each MV. Two series of experiments were conducted with the S whose goal was to produce a "real time" generated binary random number sequence that would match a previously generated random sequence. There were 2 of these psychokinetic matching tasks in each session. The pitch of a tone reflected the direction and magnitude of the majority-vote scoring. The S was instructed to maintain the lowest possible tone. Series 1 gave evidence for psi-missing. A decline in scoring was found within the runs. No differential scoring was found on the 2 targets, which were physically/psychologically indistinguishable by the Ss. Series 2 was identical to Series 1, except that an additional level of MV determined each digit in the target sequence. No evidence for psi effects was found under this condition. (5 ref)
