In one research study, Hilgard asked hypnotized subjects to submerge one hand in a tub of ice-cold water. Participants were told they would feel no pain, but they were also told that they could use the nonsubmerged hand to signal any pain by pressing a telegraph key. The participants kept one hand submerged in the water, as instructed, but with the other hand they pressed the key frequently
Later they claimed to have no memory of pressing the key. Hilgard's results support the view that hypnosis involves:
a. creative role engagement
b. a trancelike state with increased delta wave activity
c. subliminal perception of environmental cues
d. divided conscious awareness
