"Don't know" (DK) responses to interview questions are conceptually heterogeneous, and may represent uncertainty or clear statements about the contents of memory. A study examined the subjective intent of DK responses in relation to the objective status of information queried, in the context of memory distorting procedures. Participants…

This study investigated the effects of hypnotic susceptibility and of suggestion of direction on four measures of autokinetic movement: the mean number of changes in direction reported per trial, the latency of reported movement, the estimated direction, and the reported magnitude of movement.

The current study is concerned with developing a procedure designed to maximize subject attention to the written information while minimizing potentially confounding boredom or fatigue factors and second to cross-validate previous studies employing written information to modify performance with an improved experimental procedure.

The present study attempted to deprive human subjects of dreaming through the administration of a posthypnotic suggestion and to increase or facilitate dreaming through a second suggestion that was used with another group of subjects. (Author/RK)

The hypothesis was tested that the expectancy of the hypnotist is especially significant in determining the nature of the response of susceptible subjects. (Editor)

A retroactive inhibition design was used to examine the process of posthypnotic amnesia. The results supported the notion that "forgotten" material is as available to amnesic subjects at some level as it is to nonamnesic subjects. (Editor)

Following the study of Gibson & Curran (1974) on hypnotic susceptibility, a further sample of 45 subjects was tested on the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) and a modified form of the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale (SHSS) in precisely the same way. (Editor/RK)

This research uses a sample of 691 male and female college students and adopts an alternative method of evaluating reversibility, an important aspect of posthypnotic amnesia, to explore in greater detail the relations among hypnotic susceptibility, initial amnesia, and subsequent reversibility.

Earlier reports of the pain of putting hand and forearm in circulating ice water were recomputed to study how subjects scale that pain and to find appropriate measures of its reduction under hypnotic analgesia. (Editor)

The hypothesis being tested is that a tranquillizing drug will either "increase" or "decrease" hypnotic susceptibility according to the personality characteristics of the individual subject. Such a view may further understanding of the conflicting evidence which is supplied by the relevant experimental literature. (Author/RK)

A total of 36 susceptible and 36 insusceptible subjects were tested to examine the effect of markedly contrasting styles of interpersonal orientation of the hypnotist on responsiveness in the hypnotic situation. (Editor)

Explores the possibility that measurable individual differences in hypnotic susceptibility or the ability to attend selectively to informational cues may account for a portion of the variability found in several types of geometrical visual illusions. (Author/RK)

Builds upon earlier experiments in an attempt to measure the interferences between simultaneous tasks and the effects of hypnotic dissociation in increasing or decreasing this interference, thus testing the validity of one or the other of two theoretical models. (Author/RK)

A report by Crawford found substantial correlations between hypnotizability and various speed-of-closure measures. An attempt to replicate these correlations on the same population of university undergraduates in the present study yielded markedly lower correlations. Nonproportional sampling techniques may have spuriously inflated the earlier…
