Inner Speech: Development, Cognitive Functions, Phenomenology, and Neurobiology (2015, background): “A prominent theory of AVHs holds that they stem from misattribution of inner speech to an external source (Bentall, 1990; Feinberg, 1978; Frith, 1992).”
Self-recognition deficits in schizophrenia patients with auditory hallucinations: a meta-analysis of the literature. (2012, background): “Such dysfunctions are posited to lead directly to difficulties with self-recognition,(23,26,27) or indirectly through faulty logical reasoning when making decisions about the origins of mental events.(3,7,22) Typically, this is tested by asking participants to identify whether items in memory origin”
Neural correlates of inner speech and auditory verbal hallucinations: a critical review and theoretical integration. (2007, background): “In doing so, we attempt what Bentall (1990) recommends a scientific theory of hallucinations should do, namely, “explain the experiences of the hallucinator in terms of underlying cognitive mechanisms” (p.”
Alien voices and inner dialogue: towards a developmental account of auditory verbal hallucinations (2004, methodology): “Finally, a degree of success in the psychological modelling of AVHs (e.g. Bentall, 1990; Frith, 1992; Hoffman, 1986) has led to a new optimism that we might be within reach of a psychological-level account of these experiences.”
Externalizing biases and hallucinations in source-monitoring, self-monitoring and signal detection studies: a meta-analytic review (2013, background): “2012b), and speaks to the importance of both selfrecognition impairments and the cognitive biases towards the misattribution of internally generated events to external sources in the aetiology of hallucinations (Bentall, 1990 ; Larøi & Woodward, 2007).”
The brain’s conversation with itself: neural substrates of dialogic inner speech (2015, background): “Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) have been proposed to reflect misattributed instances of inner speech (Bentall, 1990; Frith, 1992), but studies inspired by this view have arguably relied on a relatively impoverished, ‘monologic’ view of inner speech.”
The Neuropsychology of Schizophrenia (2019, background): “Prospective studies of large birth cohorts have supported the association between cognitive deﬁcits in childhood and adult psychosis (Cannon et al. , 1999; Jones et al. , 1994a, 1994b; Kremen et al. , 1998).”
Shot through with voices: Dissociation mediates the relationship between varieties of inner speech and auditory hallucination proneness (2014, background): “Secondly, given that inner speech is proposed to be the raw material of some auditory verbal hallucinations (‘hearing voices’) (Bentall, 1990; Frith, 1992; Shergill et al., 2003), and may play a causal or maintenance role in anxiety and depression (Harrington & Blankenship, 2002), the VISQ can be…”
Cognitive Behavioural Processes Across Psychological Disorders: A Transdiagnostic Approach To Research And Treatment (2004, background): “There is a growing theoretical view that hallucinations are the result of private mental events being misattributed to an external source, possibly as a result of cognitive deficits (Frith 1992; Hemsley 1993) and/or cognitive biases (Bentall 1990; Morrison et al. 1995; Garety et al. 2001).”
Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews Auditory Verbal Hallucinations as Atypical Inner Speech Monitoring, and the Potential of Neurostimulation as a Treatment Option (unknown): “This concept has variously been termed self-monitoring, source monitoring, or reality monitoring (Bentall, 1990; Frith, 1992).”
Auditory Hallucinations: Psychotic Symptom or Dissociative Experience? (2008, background): “It is almost axiomatic at this point to assert that AH result from the ‘misattribution’ of internal experiences to external sources (Bentall, 1990; Morrison, 1998).”
