Posthypnotic amnesia (PHA) and directed forgetting (DF) involve different memory processes. Hypnotic susceptibility and context significantly influence directed forgetting responses in highly susceptible individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Hypnology
  • Memory Research

Background:

  • Investigating the relationship between hypnotic susceptibility and memory functions.
  • Comparing memory processes in posthypnotic amnesia (PHA) and directed forgetting (DF).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare memory processes underlying PHA and DF across varying hypnotic susceptibility levels.
  • To examine the influence of hypnotic context on DF performance.
  • To determine the role of hypnotic susceptibility in DF responses.

Main Methods:

  • Three experiments were conducted involving participants with varying hypnotic susceptibility.
  • Participants were subjected to directed forgetting (DF) tasks, both in and out of hypnosis.
  • Posthypnotic amnesia (PHA) was also assessed and compared with DF.

Related Experiment Videos

Main Results:

  • Experiment 1 indicated distinct memory processes for PHA and DF, with differential responses based on susceptibility.
  • Experiment 2 revealed a context effect in highly susceptible subjects, showing typical DF outside hypnosis but not within.
  • Experiment 3 demonstrated similar DF responses in high and low susceptibility subjects outside hypnosis, diminishing susceptibility's role in this context.

Conclusions:

  • The interaction between context and hypnotic susceptibility is crucial for understanding unusual DF responses in high susceptibles.
  • Information processing models may be insufficient for explaining PHA and potentially DF.
  • Interactionist theories are necessary for a comprehensive understanding of hypnotic phenomena and related cognitive processes.
