JImmy Hynes replied to Graham Old's discussion Embedded Commands - What's the evidence?"On the issue of whether you should believe/trust/be confident in any particular thing, there is a formal way to do this which is worth understanding. It's called Bayesian probability theory and is tied into decision theory. In short,…"
JImmy Hynes replied to Lisa's discussion Researchers have found evidence for the existence of a hypnotic state"The reality of hypnosis is a distinct question from the state/nonstate debate. It's quite possible for nonstate theorists to think that hypnosis is very "real".
That question should really be framed as "Is this thing we…"
JImmy Hynes replied to Graham Old's discussion Embedded Commands - What's the evidence?"I've done a fairly extensive search into the hypnosis studies and haven't come across anything on analogue marking. I also did a brief google scholar search and found nothing.
I'm also quite skeptical of analog marking…"
JImmy Hynes replied to Joseph Gionti's discussion Has anyone ever dabbling with Quantum Jumping?"The multiverse idea is very real (check out Max Tegmark's classifications), but the idea of causally interacting with them, decisions being a necessary or sufficient condition for decoherence ("splits"), and reality…"
JImmy Hynes replied to Joseph Gionti's discussion Has anyone ever dabbling with Quantum Jumping?"In short, no. Physics doesn't work that way.
Of course, that doesn't prevent it from being a helpful metaphor."

Thank you for your kind words regarding my 2001 article. Was this my theory of hypnosis paper? I assume it was as it is the only article I have with that date. As for other articles of mine on conditioning, you might…"
JImmy Hynes replied to Anthony Jacquin's discussion The Critical Faculty"I'll be the first to stick my neck out and say it can be done. Have you tried it yet?
For lack of more/better words, hypnotic trance is more of a deep level intense trust in someone (so that whatever they say evaluates as true and…"
JImmy Hynes replied to Anthony Jacquin's discussion Ideomotor signals - valid communication?"Think about what things would have to be like for it to be 'valid'. there would have to be an answer, for one, and this 'part' would have to somehow have access to it.

- Jimmy, If you remember, in my theory I talk about Skinner's definition of hypnotic induction as a procedure of conditioning in a state of heightened belief by getting an individual to go through a series of suggestions each of which produces a positive response. And I point out that Pavlov used principles of higher-order conditioning to explain hypnosis. I think you will find my Commentary on my theory of hypnosis article (on my website, www.spccenter.com) also of interest, especially where I use my theory to throw further light on a comprhensive theory of learning and conditioning.

Jimmy,
Thank you for your kind words regarding my 2001 article. Was this my theory of hypnosis paper? I assume it was as it is the only article I have with that date. As for other articles of mine on conditioning, you might want to look at my 1973 article entitled "Posthypnotic suggestion as higher-order conditioning: a methodological and experimental analysis", published in the International Journal of Clinical & Experimental Hypnosis (1973).
