“…Future research should focus on the memory formation and retrieval processes involved in the cognitive tasks, particularly the ones involved in the image completion task where one must fi nd the missing part of a drawing. It should also include a consistent investigation of the cognitive processes (assessed for example in the K-ABC; Frenkel et al, 2005) in order to establish relations with hypnotic susceptibility.…”

Numerous studies on people with Down's syndrome show that they are able to adapt to simple tasks, have a better ability for language comprehension than for language production, and that their learning diffi culties are connected to their particular memory functions as well as to their prolonged information processing time. These characteristics do not, however, highlight elements that suggest non-receptivity to hypnosis. The present research studied (a) hypnotic response in children with Down's syndrome, and (b) the cognitive variables that can mediate the hypnotic response. The sample included twelve participants, 7 girls and 5 boys, ages ranging from 6 to 17, mean age: 10.4 (SD: 3.83). We used the Stanford Hypnotic Scale for Children, Modifi ed Form (SHCS; Morgan and Hilgard, 1979), and also checked Mnemonic recuperation, Abstraction, Perception and Vocabulary comprehension (using different subscales in WPPSI-R, K-ABC and Chevrié Muller, Simon & Decante, 1975). Results show that the children were capable of responding to suggestions under hypnosis; both motor and cognitive. The differences with the pattern of children from the general population are discussed.

“…Indeed works on defi cient populations put forward the use of heterogeneous assessment tools. There is an absence of validation for these populations, which are mostly not assessed separately despite the diversity of their mental defi ciencies (for a review, see Frenkel, Lagneau and Vandromme, 2005).…”
