1. Is There Extrasensory Perception? Chapter 6, Lecture 7
“People’s desire to believe in the paranormal
is stronger than all the evidence that it does not
exist.” - Susan Blackmore

2. Is There Extrasensory Perception?
Perception without sensory input is called extrasensory perception (ESP). A large percentage of scientists do not believe in ESP.
Do you agree with these scientists? Take a look at handout 6-19!!!
Preview Question 25: What are the claims of ESP, and what have most research psychologists concluded after putting these claims to the test?

3. Claims of ESP
Telepathy: Mind-to-mind communication. One person sending thoughts and the other receiving them.
Clairvoyance: Perception of remote events, such as sensing a friend’s house on fire.
Precognition: Perceiving future events, such as a political leader’s death.

4. Homework Study! “To refute those who say there is no ESP, one
need only produce a single person who can
demonstrate a single, reproducible ESP
phenomenon. So far, no such person has
emerged.”
- David Myers
