Software for Training Anomalous Cognition: A Preliminary Report
Alan Vaughan, Ph.D. & Jack Houck, M.S.E.
The role of intuition in fields as widely divergent as science, business, and the arts has a long anecdotal history. Research into the potential for training this area of human performance, however, is not extensive. This report gives the background of anomalous cognition (AC) training devices, and describes a preliminary study involving a software program designed to enhance successful decision-making by training AC of the future and consciousness interaction with electronic systems (CIES) It was hypothesized that motivated subjects would be able to enhance their awareness of subtle internal signals or "intuitive hunches," as shown b increases in scoring. Plot experiments by 23 experimenter/subjects yielded four who achieved significant gains in scoring at the .01 level, one who achieved both a significant increase and significant overall scoring, and two who showed significant overall Scoring. Of 2 1 subjects who did one AC experiment, a significant percentage (71 % showed improvement. Eight of the subjects did 25 additional AC experiments, for a total of 46 AC experiments, which together showed a signif�icant increase in scoring, with overall chance scoring. Three subjects, including two new ones, did six CIES experiments, whose combined data showed overall significant scoring. Of 11 drop�out subjects, one attained a significant increase in AC scoring. Of the total of 34 subjects, a significant number (six) achieved significant rises in scoring.
