Actually, can you clarify that whole paragraph? What is the claim you are evaluating.
The word is a portmanteau of “porn” and “intuition,” and is from my brief-glance understanding of Bem’s recent psychic findings which people are aflutter about. He set it up so people would guess which side an erotic image would pop up on, then it would pop up randomly, and they were right 53% of the time, which was supposedly statistically significant (I did not see a standard deviation in my brief glance). I consider it unlikely that this is a reproducible effect.
