Here's your shmoop du jour brought

00:05

to you by hypnosis also known as the best excuse to try out your chicken [Man doing chicken impression on stage]

00:10

impression on stage that's foul....okay here we go.. Hilgard

00:15

proposed a theory of hypnosis characterized by the separation of

00:19

consciousness what is the name of this theory and here are the potential answers

00:23

famous American psychologist Ernest

00:28

Hilgard was best known for his research on hypnosis and pain control so we should [Ernest hypnotizes man]

00:32

probably eliminate anything that doesn't have to do with hypnosis

00:35

even though getting very sleepy is a part of getting hypnotized we can [Boy sleeping at his desk]

00:39

eliminate both D and B right there hypnosis doesn't have to do with sleep

00:43

here people.. what about E - Was Hilgard's primary theory of hypnosis as it

00:48

related to the separation of consciousness known as role theory well

00:52

What is that? Role theory is a perspective of sociology that suggests

00:56

that people act out various social roles each day ie parent, student, teacher, child

01:01

each with their own set of duties and expectations [Young boy in living room laughing]

01:03

well role theory as it relates to hypnosis simply suggest that being

01:07

hypnotized is just another role and people act as if they're hypnotized in

01:11

order to play along it's all interesting but not what Hilgard was talking

01:15

about so cross out E - well that leaves us with A and C looking back at the

01:20

question we're looking for something that sounds like it relates to the [Separation of consciousness highlighted]

01:23

separation of consciousness between dissociative theory of hypnosis and post

01:27

hypnotic theory of hypnosis which sounds more separative well post hypnotic has

01:33

to do with stuff that happens after hypnosis and while researchers [Researcher looking at computer]

01:38

interested in C would likely be looking into posthypnotic amnesia that is the

01:42

inability for recently hypnotized subjects to recall what actually [Man being hypnotized and transforms into chicken costume]

01:46

happened while they were hypnotized that doesn't quite speak to the separation of

01:50

consciousness well the concept of dissociation which in Psychological

01:54

terms means that detachment from reality is more or less perfectly synonymous

01:58

with the wording in our question so it looks like A is our answer - Hilgard

02:03

conducted many studies on hypnosis and eventually concluded that consciousness [Ernest hypnotizing man]

02:06

dissociates the mind into separate parts and that this dissociation can lead to

02:11

distorted perception which in some cases can decrease pain perception in the case

02:16

of hypnotism this distortion occurs when one part of the mind listens to the hypnotist

02:20

while the other observes the environment nice excuse there Hilgard [Hilgard wearing chicken costume in Man's hospital room]

02:25

we all know you just secretly wanted to dress up like a chicken
