  2. backward displacement

backward displacement

backward displacement

in parapsychology experiments using Zener cards or similar targets, a result in which the participant’s “call” or guess matches the outcome of the previous trial in the series rather than the current one. If this effect occurs consistently, it may be taken as evidence of retrocognition. Compare forward displacement.
