Question 1 of 20
0.0/ 5.0 Points
Jared is attending a comedy hypnosis show with his girlfriend, and he agrees to come up on stage
and be hypnotized by the performer. While he is in a trance, he is given an instruction to flap his
arms like a chicken and grunt like a gorilla as he runs through the crowd. Because Jared is
usually a rather quiet and laid-back person, what do you think is most likely to happen when he
“wakes up” from his trance?
A. He is going to experience a new deep-seated fear of hypnosis, comics, and nightclubs,
because the experience will set up a conflict that his rooted in his unconscious.
B. He is most likely to go back to his seat and sit quietly, because hypnosis cannot make
us do things that we would not willingly do in our regular lives.
C. He is most likely to do exactly what the performer instructed him to do, because
hypnosis is effective at getting us to act in direct contravention to our own personality.
D. He is going to have a delayed response and will start acting like animals in several
hours, because it will take time for the hypnotic suggestion to overcome his personality
reservations.
,Question 2 of 20
5.0/ 5.0 Points
What is the reason why REM sleep is referred to as paradoxical sleep?
A. The neurons in the central nervous system reverse polarity and thus reverse the
charges of the action and resting potentials during REM sleep. This reversal is “undone”
when we shift into NREM sleep.
B. The restorative purpose of sleep is actually reversed during REM sleep, and it drains
rather than restores our energy stores.
C. The muscles of the body remain relaxed even though the brain is very active.
D. The EEG activity in the brain during REM sleep suggests that we start at stage 4 sleep
and go backward to stage 1 sleep. During NREM sleep, we start at stage 1 sleep and go
up to stage 4 sleep.
