Semantic Conditioning: Refers to the formation of conditioned responses to the meanings of verbal stimuli rather than their physical attributes (i.e. the sound of a word). Sensation: The un-interpreted experience accompanying afferent activity that reaches the cortical level. Sensitization: A change in behavior or biological response by an organism that is produced by delivering a strong, generally noxious, stimulus. Short-Term Memory: A phase of memory in which a limited amount of information may be held for several seconds to minutes. Stimulus: A change brought about in a receptor by a signal from the environment. Symbol: An image, object or activity that represents and can be substituted for something else. For example, words and numbers. Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS): Division of the ANS that is active in emergency conditions of extreme cold, violent effort or exercise and states of fear or rage. Synapse: A gap between two neurons that functions as the site of information transfer from one neuron to another. Suggestion: An idea conveyed to the mind by an action or through the spoken word. Temporal Lobe: One of the four major subdivisions of each hemisphere of the cerebral cortex. It functions in auditory perception, speech and complex visual perceptions. Thalamus: A structure consisting of two egg-shaped masses of nerve tissue, each about the size of a walnut, deep within the brain. It is the key relay station for sensory information flowing into the brain, filtering out only information of particular importance from the mass of signals entering the brain. Trance: A particular state of the nervous system obtained in hypnosis. By extension, every hypnotic state: light trance, medium trance, deep trance, etc. Unconditioned Reflex (Response) (UR): A response that occurs to appropriate stimulation without prior conditioning. Unconditioned Stimulus (US): A stimulus that affects behavior without prior learning. Wernicke's Area: A region of the brain responsible for the comprehension of language and the production of meaningful speech. *The concept of dissociation is widely used, but poorly defined. By "dissociation of awareness" we mean a separation or segregation off from awareness of a group of mental processes. In the induction of hypnosis there is apparently a stage during which consciousness is highly constricted, that is dissociated from that which would normally constitute its content. |
| The instructions presented are from the personal collections and writing library of Mr. Robert E. Cutter, who died December 13, 2001, while in the process of completing the transfer of his work to the internet. These are offered as educational instruction only. The purpose of this instruction is the effective learning and use of hypnotic techniques for vocational or avocational self-improvement. This instruction is not offered as a substitute for, nor as a supplement to, any form of therapy concerned with physical, mental, nervous or emotional illness. Robert E. Cutter served as web consultant for American Psychotherapy and Medical Hypnosis Association for three years. His hypnosis education came through the training he provided at a school he owned in the 1950's in Los Angeles, California, along with his wife who preceded him in death in 1980. Robert Cutter was not a psychologist and did not practice psychotherapy, but his interest in hypnosis motivated him to provide free resources materials for others who wanted to learn to use the power of their minds to improve well being and health-related issues. |
