extrasensory (OED 1934)
1931 J. B. Rhine _Letter to Walter Franklin Prince_ 1 July in _J. B. Rhine, Letters 1923-1939_ (2021) 76 We made a small step in the history of psychical research here in our department this year, by granting to a student a Master's degree on a thesis of purely psychical research material. His subject was "Extra-Sensory Cognition," an expression I am using to throw the closed-minded critic off the scent.
