Answer to Question 1

It should be noted, however, that the hypnotic state is not a unique state defined by characteristic psychophysiological markers (e.g., electroencephalogra phic wave patterns) like the waking state or the sleep state, but rather constitutes an expectancy state, a type of cultural script that we associate with trance conditions.

Answer to Question 2

Research indicates that procedures like systematic desensitization that use imaginal exposure are not quite as effective as procedures that use in vivo (i.e., live) exposure. For example, the practice of giving a speech to a live audience more successfully desensitizes anxiety than imagining giving the speech. However, because fear can paralyze and prevent action, for some people it is more motivating to first take the transitional step through systematic desensitization on the way to confronting the real life phobic scenario than to try to confront the feared scenario without this preparation.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt.
