here's your shmoop du jour brought to you by hypnosis .you are

00:08

getting very very sleepy. repeat after shmoop. I love shmoop. shmoop for president.

00:15

shmoop for world president. and now we wait. here's our question .hypnosis can [clock sways as black and white circles move]

00:22

lead to a person doing all that which of the following: and here are potential

00:25

answers. after that hypnosis thing. Alright. well

00:30

please note our carefully worded question. can lead to a person doing that

00:35

is to say we're not willing to flat-out stick that hypnotism works and puts the

00:39

hypnotized person to complete control of the hypnotist. we aren't puppets after

00:44

all. the act of putting an individual into hypnosis is said to put them into a

00:48

state of heightened focus, allowing them to concentrate on the task at hand while

00:52

also leaving them far more susceptible to suggestion. so when we worded b for

00:57

instance which by the way isn't the correct answer because it definitely [option B on the blackboard]

01:00

does happen to people being hypnotized. we're leaving it up to you to decide if

01:03

the power of hypnotism is controlling the individual or if they're merely

01:07

feeling a social pressure to conform to the situation and thereby acting in the

01:11

way they think the Hypnotizer wants and to act, which is why the rather similar

01:15

answer see also is not correct. remember we're looking for something that doesn't

01:19

happen to individuals under hypnosis and it's most definitely common for

01:22

individuals to be more open to suggestion during hypnosis whether it's

01:26

to bark like a dog jump on one foot, do a cartwheel or somehow all three at once.

01:32

that being said it's still up to debate as to whether the person was actually

01:35

barking and jumping around because they couldn't control themselves or if they

01:39

were doing it because they were in front of a crowd and it would be pretty

01:42

awkward if they didn't listen to anything the hypnotist said at all. an

01:46

individuals involved in hypnotism do often recall events from the past

01:49

they've had and since forgotten. even if they're not all that Pleasant .heightened

01:54

senses of focus & relaxation are commonly associated with hypnotism .both [man frowns as he lays on a couch]

01:59

of which can aid in recalling old memories.

02:01

and we're looking for something unrelated to hypnotism you have to go as

02:05

well. while much of hypnotism is still up for debate one thing is for certain. it

02:09

definitely hasn't been known to cause night terrors. not yet anyway. now back to

02:14

the whole shmoop for president thing- you're getting sleepy very sleepy. yeah

02:19
