ABSTRACT
Surprisingly, relatively few investigations address the nature of the déjà vu experience. Some that do examine the various dimensions of the illusion fail to report summary statistics (Sno et al., 1994) or base their findings on very small samples (Neppe, 1983e). To address this empirical lacuna, we (Brown et al., 1994) constructed a survey on various subjective and objective dimensions of the déjà vu experience. This survey was given to 353 individuals in sections of Introductory Psychology, and the summary is presented in this chapter. As one would expect, the majority of respondents (80%) are in the 18 to 22 age range (mean = 20 years; median = 19 years).
