In recent years, evidence linked hypnotizability to the executive control and information salience networks, brain structures that play a role in cognitive conflict resolution and perseveration (insisting on applying a previously learned logical rule on a new set). Despite the growing body of neuroimaging evidence, the cognitive phenotype of hypnotizability is not well understood. We hypothesized that higher hypnotizability would correspond to lower perseveration and set-shifting. Seventy-two healthy adults were tested for hypnotizability and executive functions (perseveration and set-shifting). Multiple regression analyses were performed to test the relationship between hypnotizability and perseveration and set-shifting. Higher hypnotizability was associated with lower perseveration after accounting for age and education. Hypnotizability significantly predicted perseveration but not set-shifting. Our results indicate an inverse relationship between trait hypnotizability and perseveration, an executive function that utilizes regions of both the executive control and the salience systems. This suggests that hypnotizability may share a common cognitive mechanism with error evaluation and implementation of logical rules.
近年来，有证据将催眠易感性与执行控制和信息突显网络联系起来，这些大脑结构在认知冲突解决和坚持（坚持应用新的逻辑规则）中发挥作用。尽管神经影像学证据不断增加，但催眠易感性的认知表型仍未得到很好的理解。我们假设更高的催眠易感性与更低的坚持和定势转移相对应。72 名健康成年人接受了催眠易感性和执行功能（坚持和定势转移）的测试。进行了多元回归分析，以测试催眠易感性与坚持和定势转移之间的关系。在考虑年龄和教育程度后，更高的催眠易感性与更低的坚持有关。催眠易感性显著预测了坚持，但不能预测定势转移。我们的结果表明，特质催眠易感性与坚持之间存在反比关系，而坚持是一种利用执行控制和突显系统区域的执行功能。这表明，催眠易感性可能与错误评估和逻辑规则的实施具有共同的认知机制。
