Funded Activity Summary

Is reading automatic?: Investigating hypnotic elimination of the Stroop effect. Reading in literate people is often characterised as automatic; it cannot be prevented. Recent findings indicate however that hypnotic suggestion may prevent reading. This project: (1) investigates hypnotic elimination/modulation of automatic reading, (2) determines whether these effects arise either because reading does not occur under hypnotic suggestion or because suggestion leads to rapid inhibition of the results of the reading process, and (3) determines which components of the cognitive system can and cannot be affected by hypnotic suggestion. This project provides fresh perspective on how literate people respond to printed stimuli and on the concept of automaticity in cognitive psychology.
