Needs clarification

[edit]

I added the cleanup-confusing template to account for sentences like this, which I couldn't even decipher:

The theory has been tried and tested and many some tests have proven that the theory makes is legitimate. Others, such as one performed on 169 undergraduate students, some of whom performed tasks in selective attention and divided attention conditions being correlated with scores on the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility refute Hilgard’s findings.

If anyone can figure out how to rewrite this article for clarity, it would help a lot. Tim Pierce (talk) 14:31, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unity of Consciousness

[edit]

In regard to the "Orphan Status", consider adding an article on the concept of "Unity of Consciousness". One source (lecture notes from a Teaching Company course) defines this as: "Despite receiving a variety of sensory data, processed in various areas of the brain, we experience consciousness as a seamless unity." Those that use the term Divided Consciousness seem to be defining it as a condition (likely imposed by hypnosis or injury) that affects the person's Unity of Consciousness.
