According to the theoretical framework relating hypnosis to attention, baseline attentional functioning in highly hypnotizable individuals should be more efficient than in low hypnotizable individuals. However, previous studies did not find differences in Stroop-like tasks in which the measure indicative of the Stroop interference effect was based on response latencies. This study was designed to determine whether subjects with different levels of hypnotic susceptibility show differences in baseline attentional functioning. To assess this hypothesis, high, medium, and low hypnotizable subjects performed a Stroop task designed to evaluate accuracy performance, before being subjected to hypnotic induction. Results showed that the Stroop interference effect was smaller in high hypnotizable subjects than in low hypnotizable subjects, whereas it was not different between high, and medium hypnotizable subjects. This outcome supports the notion that baseline attentional functioning is related to hypnotic susceptibility.
根据将催眠与注意力联系起来的理论框架，高度可催眠个体的基线注意力功能应比低度可催眠个体更有效。然而，先前的研究并未在类似斯特鲁普任务中发现差异，在这些任务中，指示斯特鲁普干扰效应的指标基于反应潜伏期。本研究旨在确定不同催眠易感性水平的受试者在基线注意力功能上是否存在差异。为了评估这一假设，高、中、低可催眠性受试者在接受催眠诱导之前，进行了一项旨在评估准确性表现的斯特鲁普任务。结果表明，高可催眠性受试者的斯特鲁普干扰效应比低可催眠性受试者小，而高、中可催眠性受试者之间没有差异。这一结果支持了基线注意力功能与催眠易感性相关的观点。
