When hypnotized subjects are told that they are deafand are then asked whether they can hear thehypnotist, they reply, “No.” Some theorists try toexplain this result by arguing that the selves ofhypnotized subjects are dissociated into separateparts, and that the part that is deaf is dissociatedfrom the part that replies. Which of the following challenges indicates the mostserious weakness in the attempted explanationdescribed above?
(A) Why does the part that replies not answer, “Yes”?
(B) Why are the observed facts in need of anyspecial explanation?
(C) Why do the subjects appear to accept thehypnotist’s suggestion that they are deaf?
(D) Why do hypnotized subjects all respond thesame way in the situation described?
(E) Why are the separate parts of the self the samefor all subjects?
