Abstract
In Chapters 4 and 12 Harvey and Hunt, respectively, outlined some of the environmental conditions and developmental events assumed to result in variation in the conceptual property of concreteness-abstractness and in such of its behavioral concomitants as flexibility, adaptability and creativity. This chapter will describe a study which aimed at the production of differences in these cognitive and behavioral dimensions through the use of hypnosis. To the extent that the method was valid, it should have provided tests of some of the hypotheses suggested by Harvey and Hunt in this volume and by Harvey, Hunt and Schroder earlier (1961).KeywordsReal SystemPublic ConditionConceptual SystemMoral BeliefPrivate ConditionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
