4. Why was PEARs result highly significant?

  • Significant was high because n was high, not because of a large effect. Effect driven by a few in thousand events.
  • Although the result was significant, the experiment was done under uncontrolled conditions and so is not generalisable to the general population
  • Significant was high because n was small, not because of a large effect. Effect driven by a few in thousand events.
  • Experimentor bias manipulated the results to make the effect larger than it was

5. In the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR), why is RNG necessary for ESP work?

  • To eliminate experimentor bias
  • Because computers can only generate pseudo-random numbers
  • Because the numbers need to be manipulable and controlled
