Hypnotic suggestions describing an altered perception induce congruent changes in the subject's experience and behavior. However, it is not known whether an implicit suggestion, only indirectly referring to an altered perception, induces a behavioral response corresponding to that of the real situation. In this study, an implicit suggestion of backward falling (IMP) was given to high hypnotizable participants not exposed (W-Highs) and exposed (H-Highs) to a hypnotic induction and a group of low hypnotizable individuals (W-Lows). Their posture was evaluated through an elite system. The results after the IMP were compared with those after an explicit suggestion of backward falling (EXP). In both W-Highs and H-Highs, the IMP elicited the backward body sway expected in the corresponding real situation, whereas no response was found in W-Lows. The results are discussed in terms of a possible equivalence of imagery and perception or of a lack of the motor inhibition normally associated with motor imagery.
