A Limitation of the Studies by Blanke and His Colleagues

question 40

Multiple Choice

A limitation of the studies by Blanke and his colleagues who electrostimulated the brains of individuals undergoing surgery to produce out-of-body experiences is that:

• A) the findings might not generalize to people with healthy brains since the subjects had epilepsy or other problems.
• B) the stimulation did not reliably induce the changes in body perception, with many failures being seen in attempts to replicate the effect.
• C) surgeons were doing the stimulation, rather than trained experimental psychologists.
• D) the studies used participant observers and naturalistic observation, so the results may not generalize to the population.
