Abstract
The scientific literature on hypnotic hypermnesia is reviewed. The results suggest that hypnosis consistently enhances recall of meaningful material when recall is measured in a free narrative format. Recall of nonsense material is generally not improved by hypnosis. Methodological factors which potentially influence results of such research are discussed. Several theoretical conceptualizations attempting to explain these data are offered.
