Suggestibility in children: A review: Suggestibility differences between children with and without mild intellectual impairment
… review outlines the broad area of children and suggestibility with a focus on children with intellectual disabilities. Key determinants of suggestibility including cognitive, social and stress factors underpinning the phenomenon are examined. Secondly, methodological issues such as poor …

Gender differences in levels of suggestibility
<p>This study examined differences in levels of suggestibility with regard to gender and three personality characteristics (self-esteem, self-monitoring, and social desirability) and how these differences apply to matters of eyewitness testimony. A total of 70 undergraduates (37 male, 33 female) …

Child suggestibility in the Namibian legal justice system
… abuse investigations were cognizant of child suggestibility and whether the concept child suggestibility was duly weighted during investigations and court proceedings. The legal practitioners were defined as prosecutors, magistrates and private defense lawyers. It was hypothesized that the …

Assessing Instructed Feigner's Response to the Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale
Research has suggested that the interrogative suggestibility levels play an important role in the elicitation of a false confession within a police interrogation. The Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale (GSS-1) is currently the only validated assessment tool that measures interrogative suggestibility …

Individual differences and suggestibility of children's eyewitness memory reports
… factors have been found to impact children's suggestibility including the use of leading questions. However, research in this area has yet to investigate whether characteristics of the child play a role in susceptibility to suggestion. Accordingly, the present study was designed to combine the …

Suggestibility and its Relationship to Instructional Set in Serial Learning
… to determine the influence of two variables, suggestibility and instructional set, upon the individual's performance in a serial learning task. The attempt was made to find whether it is the instructional set that affects the outcome of a serial learning task or whether it is suggestibility …

The Effect of Forewarning on Suggestibility: Does it Depend on Working Memory Capacity?
<p>Suggestibility occurs when inaccurate information is incorporated into currently existing memories. The present study examined the effect of forewarning on suggestibility, including the influence of working memory capacity (WMC). The main hypotheses are that forewarnings will reduce …

Accounting for hypnotic phenomena via motivation and experimenter demands.
… suggestions, individuals of higher hypnotic suggestibility have been found to perform in a manner not achievable without suggestions. Cold Control Theory (CCT) in contrast asserts that behaviour carried out following hypnotic suggestion is driven by the same mechanisms utilized in voluntary …

Cognitive control in high and low suggestible individuals
… context, to test control use as a predictor for suggestibility, involuntariness and effortlessness. The task consisted of three blocks of trials (List-Wise mostly incongruent, List-Wise mostly congruent and Item-Specific Proportion Congruency) in order to test proactive and reactive control use …

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt: A Discourse Analysis of Forensic and Psychological Truth in Child Narratives
… during the evaluation process; and 2) use of the suggestibility model of memory, which assumes memory is a predominantly cognitive process in which people—especially children—are vulnerable to external influences that will distort their accounts and thereby render them invalid. These findings were …

The effect of feedback at test on source memory performance
… feedback at the time of retrieval on eyewitness suggestibility. All participants watched a videotaped crime of a home burglary and then answered questions that contained misleading information. On a final source memory test, participants that were provided with feedback as to the accuracy of …

Hypnosis, hypnotizability, memory and involvement in films
… response varied as a function of both hypnotic suggestibility and film valence. Highly hypnotizable participants reported more state depersonalization relative to less hypnotizable participants; however, we observed no significant correlation between hypnotizability and trait dissociation, in …

Evaluating the Efficacy of Detection Instructions on Additive and Contradictory Misinformation in Older and Younger Adults Using Eyewitnessed Visual Scenes
… external validity. No difference was found in suggestibility to additive or contradictory misinformation types overall. However, older adults were more suggestible on a source recognition test. Importantly, when older adults were given a warning to detect misinformation, they were able to …

Action Intentions and the Puzzle of Non-Willed Behaviour
… with individual differences in ideomotor suggestibility. These findings reveal how people are able to interact so effortlessly with the world by specifying lightly constraining action goals which mediate the translation of sensory input into motor output - allowing the environment to …

The role of the prefrontal cortex in hypnotic and placebo analgesia.
… the role of the PFC in hypnosis and hypnotic suggestibility is inconclusive. Methods: Fifty-four participants (27 male) performed tasks known to tap either left (the Stroop Task; Stroop, 1938), right (the Hayling Task; Burgess & Shallice, 1996) or global PFC functions (Fluid IQ; Wechsler, …

From Intention to Action: Neural Dynamics of Voluntary Action
… timing of intention formation by measuring the suggestibility of intention reports and show that it yields onsets closer to that of neural signals. I conclude that the neuroscience of volition has yet to show evidence that decisions are present in the brain data prior to our awareness of them …
