general extrasensory perception (GESP)

Updated on 04/19/2018
in parapsychology, a paranormal outcome that cannot be assigned to any specific process of extrasensory perception. For example, in an experiment with Zener cards, it may be impossible to determine whether the receiver has perceived the contents of the deck directly through clairvoyance, received the thoughts of the sender through telepathy, or predicted the future card turns through precognition.
