| Key points | The text defines psychology as the scientific study of behavior and experience and parapsychology as the study of anomalies called paranormal experiences, which are said to transcend time, space, and force. It divides parapsychology into extra-sensory perception (ESP), the study of communications ostensibly without known sensory organs, and psychokinesis (PK), the study of physical events apparently occurring without recognized motor organs. |
Abstract
Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and experience. Para-psychology studies anomalies of behavior and experience, called paranormal experiences. Paranormal phenomena transcend the boundaries of time, space and force. Para-psychology is divided into two main branches: a) extra-sensory perception (ESP) which is the study of communications ostensibly without the known sensory organs and, b) psychokinesis (PK) or the study of physical events that apparently occur without involvement of any recognized motor organs.
