Abstract

Presents 3 comments on the reviews of C. Honorton (see record 1986-05165 -001) and R. Hyman (see record 1986-05166-001). It is argued that (1) Hyman misrepresents the standard design of ESP experiments when he says they lack control conditions; (2) the pooling of results from several groups or conditions, in several of the experimental reports, seems more likely to conceal a real effect than to erroneously identify one; and (3) because of the insensitivity of the measure used, the experiments are likely to understate evidence for a real effect that may be present.
