Spiegel, Greenleaf, and Spiegel (2005) defined absorption as the capacity to reduce or block peripheral awareness and narrow the focus of one's attention, which is one of the three components of high hypnotizability. Dissociation refers to the ability to separate oneself from sensory or emotional experiences, while suggestibility refers to the willingness to accept and act upon suggestions given by others. Sensory acuity is not mentioned as one of the three components of high hypnotizability in this definition.
