Discuss Ernest Hilgard's view on hypnosis.
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should resemble the following:
According to Ernest Hilgard, hypnosis brings about a dissociation, or division, of consciousness into two simultaneous components. In this view, hypnosis represents a state of divided consciousness. In one stream of consciousness, hypnotized people are following the commands of the hypnotist. Yet on another level of consciousness, they are acting as "hidden observers," aware of what is happening to them. For instance, hypnotic subjects may appear to be following the hypnotist's suggestion about feeling no pain, yet in another stream of consciousness, they may be actually aware of the pain.
