Hidden Observer

It is shown that the same scene or situation passes through Pushkin’s works in which an observer watching for two or more objects is present. If an object of dangerous observation is a woman, the scene, as a rule, ends up with her faint or death. The presence of such an observer can be considered as uncontrolled intrusion of fate into human’s life. Uncovering the scheme under consideration is especially important since poetics of Pushkin is extremely laconic, so even in a finished text one is led to reconstruct some implicit details. Then, a given invariant (related just to the property of reticence) can serve as a tool for independent check. In particular, its application agrees with interpretation of the final scene in “The Stone Guest” that was suggested by us earlier from completely different rationale.

Pseudomemory Responding in Hypnotic, Task-Motivated and Simulating Subjects: Memory Distortion or Reporting Bias?

Hidden Observer

Hypnotic, task-motivated and simulating subjects were administered a suggestion for a false memory (hearing noises) while “reliving” the events of an earlier night. Simulators reported the suggested noises more frequently than hypnotic subjects, and subjects in the three conditions failed to differ in endorsing the noises as real after termination of the “reliving” procedure. Subjects in the three conditions were also equally likely to reverse their pseudomemory reports following hidden observer instructions. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that pseudomemory responding in this paradigm reflects reporting bias rather than memory distortion.

Perruchet and Vinter stop short of fully embracing the implications of their own SOC framework, and hence end up defending an implausible perspective on consciousness. We suggest instead that consciousness should be viewed as a graded dimension defined over quality of representation. This graded perspective eliminates the most problematic aspects of the cognitive unconscious without denying its existence altogether.
