Retrocognition (also known as postcognition), from the Latin "retro" meaning "backward, behind" and "cognition" meaning "knowing", is the purported paranormal transfer of information about an event or object in the past. The term was coined by Frederic Myers. [http://parapsych.org/glossary_l_r.html#r Glossary of Parapsychological terms - Retrocognition ] — Parapsychological Association (2007-04-28)]

Retrocognition, like all forms of psychic functioning, is said by critics such as Robert Todd Carroll to be, in all probability, illusion or fraud. [ http://www.skepdic.com/psychic.html Entry on "Psychic" in "The Skeptic's Dictionary" by Robert Todd Carroll, Retrieved July 26, 2007]
