Introduction to Anomalistic Psychology Go through this powerpoint and follow all the instructions.

What is anomalistic psychology? Anomalistic psychology is the study of extraordinary phenomena including (but not restricted to) those which are often labelled "paranormal“ It is directed towards understanding bizarre experiences that many people have without necessarily assuming that there is anything paranormal involved It entails attempting to explain paranormal and related beliefs and ostensibly paranormal experiences in terms of known psychological and physical factors.

Hints for things anomalistic psychologists may study Uri Geller, strange beliefs, predictions people make...

Parapsychology Parapsychology is slightly different to anomalistic psychology; it is the scientific investigation of the "paranormal" – phenomena that cannot be explained in terms of currently accepted scientific theories. Parapsychologists also tend to try to find evidence supporting the paranormal, whereas anomalistic psychologists are more sceptical. Using these descriptions of anomalistic psychology and parapsychology, make notes or revision aids on them.
