Abstract

The ESP records of one of S. G. Soal\'s high scoring subjects, Mrs. Stewart, were analyzed for consistent variations in scoring in relation to the smaller structural units of the highly routinized tests. The record sheets consisted of two columns, A and B, of 25 trials each. A highly significant decline in scoring was found as the subject proceeded through column A, and a significant general variation in success was obtained in column B. In column B, there was a significant difference between the successes on the odd-nmubered and the even-numbered trials, the latter as a group giving much the higher rate of scoring.
