Jeane Dixon effect

The term was coined by mathematician John Allen Paulos. It defines the effect according to which people remember some correct predictions but ignore a much more important number of wrong predictions.

Jeane Dixon declared to Parade magazine in 1956 that a "Democratic President elected in 1960 would die in office".

John F. Kennedy's death brought her fame, however, the very large number of wrong predictions she made should not be forgotten.
