| Abstract: | Wilson and Kihlstrom (1986) reported that hypnotic amnesia was not associated with reduced clustering when subjects had initially learned a long (16-item) list of categorized words. However, Wilson and Kihlstrom inappropriately substituted hypnotic susceptibility for level of amnesia in their analyses and, consequently, they failed to test for an association between reduced clustering and amnesia. Furthermore, supplementary correlational findings provided by Wilson and Kihlstrom strongly suggest that a disorganized clustering effect occurred but went unrecognized in their data.
