Consciousness is easily understood and defined B.) Conscious awareness is one part of the dual processing that occurs in our two-track minds C.) The definition of conscious is constantly evolving D.) Behaviorism explains many psychological phenomena E.) Advances in neuroscience make it possible to relate brain activity to our mental states

A.) Show psychological activation of the sensory cortex

Exhibit a brain-wave patter similar to that of Stage 4 sleep C.) Have no sensory experience of the pain-producing procedure D.) Be unable to remember anything that occurred during the procedure E.)

Endorphins, the body's natural pain killers, were acting to diminish pain sensations in hypnotized subjects D.) The presence of the hypnotist had little impact on the participant's experience of pain E.) Because of our two track-minds much of our behavior occurs on autopilot

D.) Social influence theory
