�most research has required only affirmative/negative answers�i.e. �present� (yes: d�j� vu has occurred), �absent� (no: it has not). These may lead to misinterpretations of what is and what is not d�j� vu experience. The validity of the interpretation of the subject�s response is consequently questioned. Adequate research in this area requires at least the elucidation of concrete examples so that one can clarify that d�j� vu is in fact what is being described using standard criteria. This has only been done consistently in one study, my own.3, 4 Only two other studies provided any such opportunity�both inadequately. In Leeds� original work, he only asked for amplification inconsistently and did not have standardized criteria.1 In another study by myself (1979),4 people were given the opportunity to describe their experiences so as to evaluate whether or not they had actually occurred, but as the Screening Questions were asked in a group situation, this opportunity was largely academic. Thus denial of or admitting to d�j� vu is not equivalent to actually having had a d�j� vu experience.
