Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociation theory proposes that hypnosis involves a split in consciousness, where one part responds to suggestions while another part remains aware of reality. If individuals in a posthypnotic state can consciously recall everything they experienced while under hypnosis, it challenges the idea of a split in consciousness and thus challenges dissociation theory. Option A (frequency theory) and B (place theory) are theories related to sound perception and have no relevance to hypnosis. Option D (the McGurk effect) is a phenomenon related to audio-visual perception and has no relevance to posthypnotic state.
