Identical reports with conditions of actual events: (1) Son walking down the street tossing ball in air. (2) Mr. Bahnson at car. (3) Mr. Bahnson's actions at car. (4) Device he had at car. (5) Action of Mrs. Bahnson at table, the dealing of "cards." (6) Card size and white color. (7) Dishes on table. Possibility of unconscious preknowledge through earlier observation of the above: (1) Negative, unaware of son's interest in baseball, and not conscious of his basic activities. (2) Negative, had no knowledge of Mr. Bahnson's actions in morning around car, and reported action was not part of his daily routine. (3) Negative, as indicated such actions were not routine, i.e., loading of car, thus could not be part of preobserved habit patterns of Mr. Bahnson. (4) Indeterminate, possible that device had been observed previously but not in location indicated. (5) Negative, no part of preobservation memory, as Mrs. Bahnson did not make habit of such action; sorting mail at table was unusual event. (6) Negative, for reasons just given, coupled with no such habits in own life pattern of sorting mail at table, plus misinterpretation of action itself.
