Abstract: An extrasensory experience is one in which it appears that the experient�s mind has acquired information directly, that\nis, seemingly without either the mediation of the recognized human senses or the processes of logical inference. The\n«extrasensory» in extrasensory experience therefore pertains to appearances and not necessarily to reality, whereas the\n«extrasensory» in extrasensory perception refers to the nature of a hypothesized paranormal reality. Two specific hypotheses\nare tested: A sample of Argentinean participants who have reported Extrasensorial experiences have a higher capacity for (1)\nvisual and tactile hallucination, and (2) schizotypy proneness than non--experients. The results showed a higher level of\ncognitive-perceptual schizotypy and hallucination proneness in experients than in non-experients. The findings suggest that\nunder-lying dissociative process such as absorption and fantasy proneness are associated with ESP Experiences.
