Abstract

40 high-school Ss in a group precognition test were asked to check a list of words, placing an "L" (for Like) or a "D" (for Dislike) in lof 5 blanks beside each word. 1 of these 5 blanks was later chosen as the ESP "target position." It was expected, on the basis of preliminary work and the findings of other Es, that the S\'s trend toward liking or disliking the words would be related to the direction of his scoring (above or below mean chance expectation): more specifically that those who checked more L than the average of the group would have positive deviations on the ESP target positions associated with the L words and negative deviations on the positions associated with the D words. Conversely, it was expected that those who checked more Ds than the average would have positive deviations on the positions associated with the Disliked words and negative deviations on the Liked ones. The results showed a statistically significant difference in the direction expected.
