Abstract
The influence upon memory of posthypnotic suggestions of amnesia and facilitation
T. Saito
Forty Ss were assessed into two groups (Amnesia and Facilitation Groups) in an experiment which examined the influence of the suggestion to the memory of 15 objects' names, under the hypnosis and the waking state conditions. Both groups were given the Amnesia and the Facilitation suggestion of the memory at the end of the hypnosis respectively. The scores of the recognition and the recall tests between two groups were compared. Significant difference was found in the recall test (Waking), but not in the recognition and the recall (Hypnosis) tests between two groups. In the Amnesia group, respectable effect in terms of the suggestion was found to the recall.
