Appendix C
“Ground Truth” Instruction and Coding Form
Analysts’ Instructions for Remote-Viewing Series 900X
Thank you for helping us perform a post hoc assessment of a series of
remote viewings. The targets were actually 35-mm slides that were attached
to a photomultiplier, a device to measure small amounts of light. We were
searching for possible physical correlates to remote viewing.
You will find in your packet 6 remote viewing responses labeled 9001-
9006 respectively. Also shown
is the target number of the intended photo-
graph. We have supplied the original, rather than the 35-mm slide.
We would
like you
to make a subjective judgment as to the degree of
correspondence between the remote viewing response and its associated tar-
get. Familiarize yourself with the task by
first looking at
all the responses
and their intended
targets. Then, on a session-by-session
basis, rate your
assessments. You are completely free to define what is meant by “Degree of
Correspondence.” Indicate your judgment by marking one line across the
appropriate continuous scale shown below. A vertical line near the “None”
end of the scale will indicate that you feel there is very little correspondence
between that response-target pair. Likewise a vertical line near the “Com-
plete” end of the scale will indicate that you feel that there
is a significant
degree of correspondence.
Many of the responses begin with a
little information and build toward
a composite drawing at the end. Please assess the response in its entirety as
best you can. Thank you again.
