Highly (n = 36), moderately (n = 26), and low (n = 48) susceptible subjects were administered either hypnosis or waking instruction to examine the hypothesis that pseudomemory will occur for hypnotic subjects as long as 2 weeks after suggestions are given for accepting false events. Accuracy and confidence of memory were measured for all subjects, and memory was examined for free recall, structured recall, and recognition. Results indicated persistence of pseudomemory for the 2-week period for both highly and moderately susceptible subjects. Data highlighted the multifaceted operation of skill, contextual, and state instruction factors, and an hypothesis that ambiguity of communication when suggestion is delivered plays a part in the maintenance of pseudomemory over time is offered for further testing.
将高度易受催眠影响的受试者（n = 36）、中度易受催眠影响的受试者（n = 26）和低度易受催眠影响的受试者（n = 48）分为两组，分别接受催眠或清醒状态下的指令，以检验如下假设：对于接受虚假事件暗示的催眠受试者，即便在暗示给出两周后，仍会出现伪记忆。对所有受试者的记忆准确性和可信度进行了测量，并通过自由回忆、结构化回忆和再认来检测记忆情况。结果表明，高度和中度易受催眠影响的受试者在两周内均存在伪记忆。数据突出了技能、情境和状态指令因素的多方面作用，并提出一个假设，即暗示传达时沟通的模糊性在伪记忆随时间的维持中起了作用，有待进一步检验。
