Abstract:
In a career of many searching conceptual insights, Kenneth Bowers drew an important distinction between 2 different dissociative theories of hypnosis: dissociated experience and dissociated control. We contrast these 2 views and discuss how a dissociated control theory can be integrated with current conceptions of frontal executive function. Then we use this frontal elaboration of the dissociated control theory to sketch out a provisional understanding of memory function associated with hypnosis and hypnotic suggestibility, with particular emphasis on unsuggested effects.
