Document Summary

Drugs & consciousness: near-death experience, waking consciousness. Hypnosis: a procedure during which suggestions are made in which changes in behaviour, perception, cognition, mood will take place. Post-hypnotic suggestion: suggestions made during hypnosis session and subject will carry out after session (ex: hypnotist tells you that you will eat ten watermelons when u go home, and when u do go home u eat ten watermelons) Post-hypnotic amnesia: a temporary loss of memory, and as a result the person will not remember what happened during the session or some other fact/info that happened before the session: facts & falsehoods. A few people are difficult to hypnotise. Expectations will make a difference (i. e. if you feel hypnotism is for stupid, idiotic people, you will less likely be hypnotised, whereas if you feel it is scientific you are more likely to be hypnotisable) B. 2) can hypnosis enhance recall of forgotten events?
