Experimental evidence for anomalous retroactive influences on cognition
- nabla9 2y agoThis is a famous experiment. To summarize the aftermath: - Strong statistical evidence of tampering with the test. Bem has been doing more test than he has recorded, and removed failed tests from the statistics. - Replication studies can't find any effect.

- LargoLasskhyfv 2y agoHrm. Unsure what to make of that. Do you doubt the methodology of this single experiment, and because of this the phenomenon of 'PSI' in general, or do you think 'PSI' is/could be possible regardless?
- nabla9 2y agoAll that is needed is one experience that can be replicated reliably. There are hundreds of PSI experiments done and none of them replicates reliably.
- LargoLasskhyfv 2y agoMaybe 'it' (whatever 'it' is) doesn't want to be replicated by the unworthy doubters? And has the means to make sure of that? :-)
