Question

Gertrude Schmeidler named an effect in studies of this phenomenon the “sheep-goat effect.” Ray Hyman argued that statistical flaws ruined Charles Honorton’s attempts to use a kind of mild sensory deprivation called ganzfeld (“GAHNTS-fehld”) experiments to measure this phenomenon. (15[2])Daryl Bem’s studies of this phenomenon helped spur (-5[1])social (-5[1])psychology’s replication crisis. J.B. Rhine co-created a deck of cards (15[1])with a circle, a plus sign, (15[1])wavy lines, a star, and a square to test for this phenomenon, (15[1])although (15[1])(*) “leakage” may have occurred in those experiments. The Zener (“ZEE-ner”) cards test this phenomenon, which is the most common form of psi (“sigh”) studied by parapsychologists. For 10 points, name (10[1])this pseudoscientific (-5[1])phenomenon, (10[2])in which people (10[1])allegedly (10[1])gain information (10[1])without (10[1])using any (10[1])of (10[1])their physical (10[1])abilities. ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: Extrasensory Perception [or ESP; accept sixth sense or cryptaesthesia; accept anomalous information transfer; accept second sight or precognition; accept remote viewing; accept telepathy or mind reading or reading minds; prompt on psi or parapsychology with “what is the more specific parapsychological phenomenon?”]
