Electrodermal measures in experimental amnesia.

14 Ss equated with respect to hypnotizability were subjected to electrodermal orienting response (OR) adaptation to tone stimulation. ? the Ss were hypnotized, ? were not. Adaptation of the OR was conducted under hypnosis, with suggestion of amnesia both under hypnosis and as a posthypnotic suggestion. The control group yielded progressive adaptation curves, while "amnesia" produced a lifting of the adaptation. (16 ref.) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
