Neuropsychological frontal lobe tests were used to compare individuals with high (n = 8) and low (n = 9) hypnotizability during both baseline and hypnosis conditions. Subjects were assessed on two hypnotic susceptibility scales and a test battery that included the Stroop test, word fluency to letter- and semantic-designated categories, tests of simple reaction time and choice reaction time, a vigilance task, and a questionnaire of 40 self-descriptive statements of focused attention. Effects for hypnotic susceptibility and hypnosis/control conditions were scant across the dependent variables. High hypnotizables scored higher on the questionnaire at baseline, and their performance on the word-fluency task during hypnosis was reduced to a greater extent than lows. Findings indicate that although the frontal area may play an important role regarding hypnotic response, the mechanisms seem to be much more complex than mere general inhibition.
在基线和催眠状态下，使用神经心理学额叶测试来比较高催眠易感性（n = 8）和低催眠易感性（n = 9）的个体。受试者接受了两种催眠易感性量表和一组测试，其中包括斯特鲁普测试、针对字母和语义指定类别的词语流畅性测试、简单反应时间和选择反应时间测试、警觉任务以及一份包含40条专注注意力自我描述陈述的问卷。在各个因变量上，催眠易感性以及催眠/对照条件的影响都很微弱。高催眠易感性个体在基线时问卷得分更高，并且他们在催眠期间词语流畅性任务上的表现比低催眠易感性个体下降得更多。研究结果表明，尽管额叶区域可能在催眠反应中起重要作用，但机制似乎比单纯的一般性抑制要复杂得多。
