Introduction to experimental parapsychology.US: American Assn for the
Advancement of Science. (S: American Assn for the Advancement of Science) Abstract A report by K. Smith and H. J. Canon on
ESP raises some questions about the use of random numbers in experimental
work and challenges a series of experimental studies of ESP. The author
indicates that "What is meant by preparing a table of random numbers is that
one takes pains that each digit be followed by each of the 10 digits in
haphazard order." and that " . . . in the experimental work by Smith and
Canon, there . . . seems to have been an unfortunate choice of target
material." The author also suggests that " . . . no conclusion can safely be
drawn from this type of target."
