Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lakeshia's ability to "read" the thoughts of a volunteer from the audience is an example of telepathy, which is the supposed ability to communicate with others using only one's mind. Precognition is the ability to foresee future events, clairvoyance is the supposed ability to perceive events beyond the natural range of senses, and psychokinesis is the supposed ability to move objects using only one's mind. None of these abilities are being demonstrated by Lakeshia in this talent show performance.
