Displacement: A form of ESP shown by a percipient who consistently obtains information about a target that is one or more removed, spatially or temporally, from the actual target designated for that trial.
Types
1. Backward Displacement. Displacement in which the target extrasensorially cognized precedes the intended target by one, two, or more steps (designated as -1, -2, etc.).
2. Forward Displacement. Displacement in which the target actually responded to occurs later than the intended target by one, two, or more steps (designated as 1, 2, etc.).
