Parapsychology Personal Psychology 20

What is parapsychology? The scientific and scholarly study of unusual events associated with the human experience These experiences are difficult to explain within current scientific models Parapsychologists only study anomalies that fall into one of three general categories – ESP (extra-sensory perception), mind-matter interaction (psychokinesis), and phenomena that suggest survival after death (near-death experience

What parapsychology is not…. It is not the study of anything paranormal or bizarre Not concerned with astrology, UFOs, bigfoot, vampires or witchcraft It is known as a pseudoscience, but a parapsychologist does not make money by entertaining the public

Why is parapsychology interesting? What we know about the nature of the universe is incomplete and parapsychology can teach us more The capabilities of the human mind have been underestimated Assumptions about the separation of mind and body may be incorrect Many parapsychologists can support their ideas with data and research

Esp: Extra sensory perception ESP is the most testable and well known area of parapsychology Often referred to as the “6th Sense” 3 main types of ESP: telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition

telepathy A person with the ability to read others’ thoughts and mental contents May involve on person sending thoughts to another or perceiving another’s thoughts without using any of the five recognized senses.

clairvoyance French for “clear-seeing” The ability to “see” information about people, objects or locations without the use of any of the five senses Includes crystal gazing and tea-leaf reading

precognition Knowledge of a future event or circumstance not obtained by inference or deduction but by paranormal means What most people mean when using the term “psychic” Dream interpretation often falls under this category

What the skeptics say After thousands of experiments, a reproducible ESP phenomenon has never been discovered No one individual has convincingly demonstrated psychic ability Skeptics argue that the evidence is not there to support the phenomena of parapsychology
