This occured to me this afternoon:
Assistant Professor Steve Booth-Butterfield of the University of West Virginia University says in his excellent primer on influence http://www.as.wvu.edu/~sbb/comm221/primer.htm that people process information using systematic/heuristic meta-programs to check each new piece of information and decide to either accept or reject it. Systematic, logical thinking, he says, leads to entrenched, long-lasting views, whereas flighty, heuristic reasoning leaves light, fleeting impressions. This seems to be the same thing described in “Techniques of Persuasion†by J.A.C Brown, in which he describes four levels of belief. Starting at the heuristic end we have general opinions, then “brand loyaltyâ€, then “proven†logical conclusions and finally axiomatic truths.
In a state of learning, isn’t the idea to make systematic, i.e. solid, changes, to the subject’s model of reality by getting them to accept ideas? Surely, hypnosis gets the subject to accept systematically the suggestions presented, but at the same time to evaluate them as heuristically as possible. So, is hypnosis a form of learning?
