Failing the future: three unsuccessful attempts to replicate Bem's 'retroactive facilitation of recall' effect.

Nine recently reported parapsychological experiments appear to support the existence of precognition. We describe three pre-registered independent attempts to exactly replicate one of these experiments, 'retroactive facilitation of recall', which examines whether performance on a memory te...
