A preregistered multi-lab replication of Maier et al. (2014, Exp. 4) testing retroactive avoidance.

PLoS One August 31, 2020 Markus A Maier, Vanessa L Buechner, Moritz C. Dechamps et al.

The term "retroactive avoidance" refers to a special class of effects of future stimulus presentations on past behavioral responses. Specifically, it refers to the anticipatory avoidance of aversive stimuli that were unpredictable through random selection after the response. This phenomenon is supposed to challenge the common view of the arrow of time and the direction of causality. Preliminary...

Intentional Observer Effects on Quantum Randomness: A Bayesian Analysis Reveals Evidence Against Micro-Psychokinesis

Frontiers in Psychology March 21, 2018 Markus A Maier, Moritz C. Dechamps, Markus Pflitsch 18 citations

Intentional effects of human observerson the output of quantum-based random number generators (tRNG) have been studied for decades now. This research has been known as micro-psychokinesis (micro-PK) and many studies in the field reported evidence for mentally induced non-random deviations from chance. A most recent meta-analysis from Bösch, et al. (2006) revealed a very small and heterogeneous...
