Hypnotic suggestions may not always require intentional effort. Some highly hypnotizable individuals respond through dissociated control, while others use more deliberate methods for hypnotic amnesia.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Neuroscience

Background:

  • Hypnotic responding is often debated regarding the role of intentional effort.
  • Wegner's model of ironic processing, related to thought suppression, offers a framework for understanding hypnotic phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether responding to hypnotic suggestions necessitates intentional effort.
  • To examine the applicability of ironic processing models to hypnotic amnesia.

Main Methods:

  • Two studies were conducted using hypnotic suggestions for amnesia as a proxy for thought suppression.
  • Participants performed tasks under varying cognitive loads and with different instruction sets (blank-mind vs. amnesia suggestion).

Main Results:

  • Findings suggest that hypnotic responding is not uniformly intentional.

  • Dissociated control theory explained responding in some highly hypnotizable participants.
  • Intentional responding models were more applicable to other participants.

    • Conclusions:

    • Hypnotic responding involves diverse mechanisms, varying even within highly hypnotizable individuals.
    • The cognitive processes underlying hypnotic suggestion are multifaceted, encompassing both automatic and controlled elements.
