Abstract

Using an angular measurement which takes into account direction, speed and extent of movement, the postural sway of 78 girls was studied both in a suggestion and in a non-suggestion situation. Although the scores obtained under the 2 conditions differed significantly, the 2 distributions showed the same direction of skewness and both had a single mode at zero. "Correlations found were: between the suggestion and non-suggestion scores, .24 ( P = .05 to .02); between suggestion scores and frequency of reported dreaming, .34 ( P less than .01); and between suggestion scores and order of presentation for the experiment, .45 ( P less than .01)."
