Cold Control 1 Executive control without conscious awareness : The cold control theory of hypnosis

چکیده
Cold Control 2 Short Abstract We argue for the theoretical possibility of unconscious executive control using the Higher Order Thought (HOT) theory of Rosenthal (2002). Then we elaborate the cold control theory of hypnosis, according to which hypnotic response involves executive control without conscious intentions. Cold control theory allows an account of why some hypnotic tasks are more difficult than others, of individual differences in hypnotisability, and of the effects of expectation in hypnosis. Cold control theory can be contrasted with two other theories of hypnotic responding motivated by HOT theory (empty heat and multiple selves).

متن کاملAlcohol increases hypnotic susceptibility.

The mid-dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex and the ACC are candidate regions for such awareness. Al...
