Cognitive disorders: A question of misattribution

Curr Biol. 1999 May 20;9(10):R374-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(99)80231-0.

Abstract

A recent study indicates that schizophrenia patients are prone to auditory hallucinations because they have difficulty recognising their 'inner speech' as their own, and consequently tend to misattribute it to an external source.
