Abstract

THE main experimental evidence for extra-sensory-perception produced in Great Britain is that published by S. G. Soal and K. M. Goldney1 in which they claimed that their subject displayed precognitive telepathy. I have stated elsewhere2 that the result of this experiment could have been produced by normal means. I now propose to show that this explanation in terms of everyday processes—besides being possible—is necessary in order to account for features which are present in the published results.
