Rao, K R (1963). Studies in the
preferential effect: II. A language ESP test involving precognition and
"intervention." Journal of Parapsychology, 27(3), (pp. 147-160) Abstract 33 high school boys and 23 girls took an
ESP test in which they attempted to predict a future random order of targets
consisting of 5 common English words and of the same words translated into
an unknown language (Telugu). The objective was to compare the language
difference in success for boys and girls separately and combined. The boys
reached a high level of significance on the unknown targets and gave a
difference favoring Telugu significant at better than the 2% level. The
girls alone showed a chance performance. Other analyses also lend support to
the evidence that ESP was operating upon targets in an unknown language.
