Visual imagery was measured under sensory restriction and under rhythmic photic stimulation to test the hypothesis that high visual-imagery individuals would be more susceptible to hypnosis. Support for the hypothesis was obtained primarily from imagery measures that instructed S to try to see certain specified images. Little support was obtained using less prescriptive measures tapping free, spontaneous imagery. The study was also concerned with the dimensions of imagery and with possible sex differences in visual imagery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
