Osis, K (1953). A
test of the relationship between ESP and PK. Journal of
Parapsychology, 17, (pp. 298-309) Abstract This was an exploratory experiment
designed to study the relationship between extrasensory perception (ESP) and
psychokinesis (PK). The subject was instructed to throw a die while willing
it to come to rest with the face uppermost that had already been designated
as the target, but which was not known to the subject. Three subjects
participated and they showed a statistically significant degree of success
in obtaining the unknown target face. The level of success was comparable to
that found in other PK tests with known targets, and the results suggest
that there must be a close relationship between ESP (by which the subjects
ascertain the targets) and PK (by which the fall of the dice was
influenced).
