diagnostic prescriptive education

the concept that effectiveness of classroom teaching of children with disabilities depends in large part on the teacher’s understanding of the disabilities. For example, the more the teacher and educational administrators know about hydrocephalus, the more effectively they can design and individualize an appropriate educational program for students with this particular disability.

consistent missing

in parapsychology experiments using Zener cards or similar targets, the phenomenon in which a participant’s “calls,” or guesses, are consistently wrong or significantly below chance expectations. Some people attribute such systematic failure to processing error or a conscious or nonconscious reluctance to confirm psychic ability. See also psi-missing.
