He studied at Cambridge University where he earned Bachelor of Arts hons in 1914, an Master of Arts in 1919 and a Doctor of Philosophy in 1922.
He is best known as the author of Straight and Crooked Thinking (1930, 1953), which describes flaws in reasoning and argument. He was a lecturer in psychology at the universities of Manchester, Glasgow and a Fellow of Corpus Christi College in the University of Cambridge. He wrote on parapsychology and conducted experiments in card-calling and psychokinesis.
His own experiments did not confirm the results of J. B. Rhine and he criticised the experimental protocols of previous experimenters.
He is credited with introducing the word psi as a term for parapsychological phenomena in a 1942 article in the British Journal of Psychology. He served as President of the Society for Psychical Research from 1942 to 1944.
