Different types • Telepathy • Being able to read or feel other peoples thoughts. It usually happens when you are close to someone being able to finish sentences or answer questions without actually being asked. • Clairvoyance • Dreaming of events that hasn’t happened yet • Gut feeling good or bad
Psychology? • E.S.P is not a proven form of psychology • Many tests have been done throughout the years. • The most noted test was conducted in 1933-1934 at Duke University, by J.B. Rhine. • Pearson and Pratt (subjects) • Using E.S.P cards (emotionally neutral) • Across campus with subject tracking • Results were later discussed in 1954 • Results inconclusive (due to possible cheating)
