Understand Hilgard's theory of hypnosis, which suggests that during hypnosis, a person's consciousness is divided into different streams.
Recognize that one of these streams is the 'hidden observer,' which remains aware of what is happening even when the person is in a hypnotic state.
Differentiate between the 'conscious mind' and the 'hidden observer.' The conscious mind is the part of the mind that is actively aware and engaged, while the 'hidden observer' is a separate stream that maintains awareness during hypnosis.
Consider the role of the 'hypnotized' part of the mind, which is the part that follows the hypnotist's suggestions and may not be fully aware of the surroundings.
Identify that the 'hidden observer' is the correct answer, as it is the part of the mind that remains aware during hypnosis according to Hilgard's theory.
