Increased role taking refers to the phenomenon of a person adopting a new persona or identity while under hypnosis. In this case, Nikki is taking on the role of a chimpanzee and exhibiting behaviors associated with that role. Age regression, redistributed attention, and posthypnotic amnesia are other common changes associated with hypnosis, but they are not demonstrated in this scenario.
