Mitchell, A M J &
Fisk, G W (1954). CLOCK CARDS AND DIFFERENTIAL SCORING TECHNIQUES. Journal
of Parapsychology, 18, (pp. 153-164) Abstract This report summarizes several experiments
in which tests for extrasensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis (PK) were
evaluated in two ways. In some tests each trial was recorded as either a hit
or a miss. In others, the responses were graded to take account of how far
the wrong responses missed the target. Special "clock face" cards permitting
scoring the subject\'s response in terms of the angular displacement from
the target hour were used in the differential ESP tests. Statistically
significant results were obtained in both the ESP and PK tests. There was a
general tendency for the differential method of scoring to yield more
significant results than scoring merely in terms of hits and misses.
