Abstract

This study tested the hypothesis that relaxation by guided imagery improves working-memory performance of healthy participants. 30 volunteers (both sexes, ages 17-56 years) were randomly assigned to one of three groups and administered the WAIS-III Letter-Number Sequencing Test before and after 10-min. treatment with guided imagery or popular music. The control group received no treatment. Groups' test scores were not different before treatment. The mean increased after relaxation by guided imagery but not after music or no treatment. This result supports the hypothesis that working-memory scores on the test are enhanced by guided imagery and implies that human information processing may be enhanced by prior relaxation.

摘要

本研究检验了以下假设

通过引导式意象进行放松可改善健康参与者的工作记忆表现。30名志愿者（男女皆有，年龄在17 - 56岁之间）被随机分为三组，在接受10分钟的引导式意象或流行音乐治疗前后，进行韦氏成人智力量表第三版（WAIS - III）的字母数字排序测试。对照组未接受任何治疗。治疗前，各组的测试分数并无差异。通过引导式意象放松后，平均分有所提高，但听音乐或未接受治疗后平均分未提高。这一结果支持了以下假设：引导式意象可提高测试中的工作记忆分数，并暗示先前的放松可能会增强人类信息处理能力。
