Measuring hypnotizability.
Conventional suggestion-based tests of hypnotizability have been criticized because they confound hypnotic and nonhypnotic suggestibility. One way around this might be to measure hypnotizability in terms of differences in suggestibility before and after hypnotic induction. However, analysis of data from a 1966 classic study by Hilgard and Tart confirms that difference scores are subject to statistical and methodological problems. Simple verbal hypnotic depth scales are presented as a useful alternative. They correlate well with conventional suggestion-based measures and enable the presence of hypnosis to be indexed independently of formal hypnotic induction procedures. Criticisms of depth scales are addressed, and normative data for the Long Stanford Scale of hypnotic depth are presented, along with data lending empirical support for the construct validity of depth reports.

Asthma is a condition that affects a person's breathing. It does so by causing the airways become narrow and swell.

While there are many people that may have asthma, medical treatment is normally only given to those with moderate to severe symptoms. Of course, the advice of a medical professional should always be sought if the symptoms do not...
When reading for comprehension it is vital that the reader set in his or her mind the specific purpose of a reading session. Understanding what a person reads is a factor of rapidly converting perception into meaning. Normally I refer to this as the creation of the answers to how and why. Meaning also refers to the ability of the human brain to relate new perceptions to previous patterns of understanding. This is a fancy way of saying a person will relate new experiences to old experiences.
From before our birth we have been creating patterns of understanding inside our brain. When new...
