Near-Death and Out-of-Body Experiences in the Blind: A Study of Apparent Eyeless Vision (open access)

Near-Death and Out-of-Body Experiences in the Blind: A Study of Apparent Eyeless Vision

Article reporting the results of an investigation into near-death and out-of-body experiences in 31 blind respondents. The study sought to address three main questions: (1) whether blind individuals have near-death experiences (NDEs) and, if so, whether they are the same as or different from those of sighted persons; (2) whether blind persons ever claim to see during NDEs and out-of-body experiences (OBEs); and (3) if such claims are made, whether they can ever be corroborated by reference to independent evidence.

The Paradox of Jonah: Response to "Solving the Riddle of Frightening Near-Death Experiences" (open access)

The Paradox of Jonah: Response to "Solving the Riddle of Frightening Near-Death Experiences"

Article contending that Kenneth Ring's arguments are the same that have been used by skeptics to question the validity of the radiant near-death experience (NDE); that as they have been found inadequate there, so they do not adequately address the meaning or value of the terrifying experience; and that experiences of the depths may be equally productive and as worthy of serious study as are experiences of radiance.

An Investigation of the Validity and Predictive Value of the NPSDE, a Preschool Assessment Device (open access)

An Investigation of the Validity and Predictive Value of the NPSDE, a Preschool Assessment Device

The problem under investigation was the predictive value of a preschool screen. The subjects were 111 kindergartners. First, the need for a preschool screen was established. Second, the literature concerning other preschool devices was reviewed. Third, a specific screen was assessed in terms of validity. Fourth, a consideration of the predictive value of this screen in relation to scholastic achievement as indicated by the Metropolitan Readiness Test was made. A multiple regression analysis was performed, and the cross-validation of a number of prediction equations and cutoff scores was significant. Although statistical significance was achieved, high-risk youngsters could not be accurately identified. This research indicated that the instrument evaluated shows promise if refined by additional research.
