Abstract
A dot-pattern test for accuracy of imagery and the Betts QMI scale for vividness of self-reported imagery were administered to 10 Ss high and 10 Ss low in hypnotic susceptibility. As in previous studies, susceptibility and Betts scale responses were related, but neither was related to dot-pattern performance. Results emphasize the complexity of the concept of imagery and the variety of possible bases for the relationship between self-reported imagery and hypnotic susceptibility, such as response-bias, suggestibility, and/or forms of imagery conferring very limited accuracy.Keywords
