When hypnotized subjects are told that they are deaf and are then asked whether they can hear the hypnotist, they reply, “No.” Some theorists try to explain this result by arguing that the selves of hypnotized subjects are dissociated into separate parts, and that the part that is deaf is dissociated from the part that replies.
Which of the following challenges indicates the most serious weakness in the attempted explanation described above? A. Why does the part that replies not answer, “Yes”? B. Why are the observed facts in need of any special explanation? C. Why do the subjects appear to accept the hypnotist’s suggestion that they are deaf? D. Why do hypnotized subjects all respond the same way in the situation described? E. Why are the separate parts of the self the same for all subjects?
Answer: Since the questions elicits a reply, the question was presumably heard, but presumably not by the part that is deaf. The explanation’s obvious weakness, therefore, is that it fails to indicate why the part that replies would reply as if it were the part that is deaf. Choice A points to this failure and is the best answer. Choice B does not challenge the explanation itself, but the need for an explanation in the first place. Choices C and D raise pertinent questions concerning the facts described, but do not address the proffered explanation of those facts. Choice E points to a question to which the attempted explanation gives rises, but does not challenge the adequacy of the explanation. |
