Electrodermal measures in experimental amnesia.

Abstract

Ss equated with respect to hypnotizability were subjected to electrodermal orienting response (OR) adaptation to tone stimulation. \ the Ss were hypnotized, 4 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.

Posthypnotic amnesia as disrupted retrieval.

“…Most studies of amnesia have been directly influenced by this point of view. These studies have examined the presence or absence of memory traces using traditional memory paradigms, including recognition, relearning, and retroacLive inhibition (Barber, 1969;Hull, 1933;Williamsen, Johnson, & Eriksen, 1965) or physiological responsivity (Stern, Edmonston, Ulett, & Levitsky, 1963). In general, this research has demonstrated that the functional presence of these "forgotten" memories can be documented by various experimental techniques and that they continue to exert an effect on the subject's waking cognition.…”
