Abstract

Comments on the article by R. Wiseman and J. Milton that proposed that 4 possible information leakage paths existed in Experiment One of the Science Applications International Corporation\'s remote viewing program (N. D. Lantz et al; see record 1995-39651-001). Wiseman and Milton also questioned Lantz, W. L. Luke, and E. C. May\'s collective memory of the experiment\'s procedures. May contends that Wiseman and Milton incorrectly combined Experiment One\'s results across all conditions and concluded that the resulting smaller effect size might be explained by their hypothesized leakage paths. It is demonstrated that the proposed leakage paths did not occur and that, even if they had, they would not have contributed to the result. A further indication that the results were not artifactual was that the experimental protocol was consistent across all conditions; therefore, any proposed artifact would have been equally operative in all of them. But, i!n fact, the results significantly favored only one of the conditions: static targets. It is concluded that the results stated in Lantz et al stand as published.
