Reaction time as a predictor of imaginative suggestibility and hypnotizability
Abstract
The purpose of this exploratory investigation was to examine the relationship between reaction time, hypnotizability and imaginative suggestibility. The study participants were 119 undergraduate students who were assessed for non‐hypnotic and hypnotic suggestibility, performed simple and go/no‐go reaction time tasks and completed response expectancy, motivation, absorption and fantasy‐proneness scales. Faster simple response times were associated with greater hypnotic suggestibility, hypnotizability, response expectancies, absorption, fantasy‐proneness and non‐hypnotic motivation. Go/no‐go response time was not significantly correlated with any of these measures. With the other controlled, each reaction time measure was uniquely associated with hypnotic expectancy, hypnotic suggestibility, and hypnotizability, but in opposite directions.

“aside from preliminary evidence indicating that highly suggestible individuals exhibit greater verbal and motor automaticity (Braffman & Kirsch, 2001; Dixon, Brunet, & Laurence, 1990; Dixon & Laurence, 1992) and poorer executive functioning (Farvolden & Woody, 2004; Khodaverdi-Khani & Laurence, 2016)”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
