Review of International Literature

Aikins, D., & Ray, W. J. (2001). Frontal lobe contributions to hypnotic susceptibility: A neuropsychological screening of executive functioning. International Journal ofClinical & Experimental Hypnosis, 49(4),320-329. A theory of hypnosis, based on neuropsychological research with frontal lobe dysfunction patients, has suggested that hypnosis may be mediated by a dissociation between contention-scheduling mechanisms and a supervisory attentional system. This study tested this hypothesis with 9 high hypnotizable and 7 low hypnotizable subjects who were given 4 tests of executive functioning. During a baseline condition, high hypnotizables performed significantly better on 1 of the 4 tests (the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test). The possible role of increased cognitive flexibility and processing information in a more fluid way is discussed as a possible component of the dissociated control model of hypnosis.
