1st exercise
You can use the script to complete this exercise.
Find a test person with whom you can carry out the following steps:
- Explain what you expect from your subject.
- Ask for permission to touch his arm and hand.
- Perform the first phase and the first test of Elman induction. “Check your eyelids by raising your eyebrows slightly.”
- Then tell your subject that he can open his eyes again as soon as he wants to.
- After the exercise, ask your subject how they felt.
Attention
Make sure that your subject is sitting securely on a chair (cannot tip forward). Have him take off his glasses and remove chewing gum from his mouth, if available.
Contact lenses should also be avoided. As the eyes move back and forth behind the eyelids in a hypnotic state, the contact lenses could slip out of place. That would be a little uncomfortable for your subject.
