abstract="This study was designed to test the conditions under while false memory reports are likely to be elicited from hypnotic and non-hypnotic participants. Low, medium and high hypnotizables were administered either a hypnotic or non-hypnotic suggestion for regression to the day after birth. False memories of infancy were generated in 68 of 78 age-regressed participants, nearly half of whom reported strong beliefs in the reality of their recovered 'memories'. Non-hypnotic participants were slightly but significantly more likely to report infancy experiences than were hypnotic participants. However, hypnotizability did not have a significant effect on the classification of these experiences as memories or as fantasies. Implications for the experimental and clinical contexts are discussed. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
