  • Title: Using hypnosis to gain insights into healthy and pathological cognitive functioning.
    Author: Oakley DA, Halligan PW.
    Journal: Conscious Cogn; 2011 Jun; 20(2):328-31. PubMed ID: 20188598.
    Abstract:
    The demonstration that hypnotic suggestion can inhibit word/colour Stroop highlights one of the benefits of using hypnosis to explore cognitive psychology and in particular attentional processes. The compelling results using a rigorous design have particular relevance for the presumed automaticity of some forms of information processing. Moreover the results support the potential that hypnotic suggestion offers for creating clinically informed analogues of relevant psychological and neuropsychological conditions. As with all novel research, the results of Raz and Campbell raise further operational and theoretical questions, relating in this case to the use of hypnotic, post-hypnotic and non-hypnotic suggestion and the utility of existing measures of hypnotizability.
