Abstract

The article surveys past efforts to devise an ESP test procedure with predictive value for specific events. It also presents a new experimental investigation done with the same objective. This "pilot study" involved criterion ESP trials made upon one group of targets for immediate checking and predictive ESP trials made upon a similar group of targets for delayed checking. The criterion trials produced statistically significant ESP results, and the experimenter was moderately successful in predicting the test targets from the subjects\' second set of ESP responses.
